Complementary to SNMP Management Tools

The VPNmanager software is designed specifically for securely defining, configuring,
monitoring, and upgrading VPNs. The VPNmanager software is required to configure and
modify VPNs. Secure traffic running between VSUs or between VSUs and VPNremote Clients
does not require an active VPNmanager. After configuring the required VPNs, the VPNmanager
can be shutdown if desired, or used to monitor security gateway activity. In addition, standard
MIBs available with the VSUs enable monitoring from standard SNMP management stations.

Using VPNmanager Help

The VPNmanager comes with a context-sensitive-Help system. Use the Help system for getting
information about a specific command in the VPNmanager graphical user interface (GUI).
