Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall 25 with 4 Gigabit LAN and Dual WAN Ports

You can access the command line interface (CLI) either by using telnet or by connecting a terminal to the console port on the front of the unit.

To access the CLI from a communications terminal when the FVS124G VPN Firewall is still set to its factory defaults (or use your own settings if you have changed them), do the following:

1.From the command line prompt, enter the following command: telnet 192.168.1.1

2.Enter admin and password when prompted for the login and password information (or enter guest and password to log in as a read-only guest).

Note: No password protection exists when using the console port to access the unit.

Any configuration changes made via the CLI are not preserved after a reboot or power cycle unless the user issues the CLI save command after making the changes.

Event Alerts

You can be alerted to important events such as WAN port rollover, WAN traffic limits reached, and login failures and attacks.

WAN Port Rollover

You can request an email alert when the WAN port rolls over if the WAN mode is configured for rollover.

Traffic Limits Reached

Figure 8-3shows the Internet Traffic screen that is invoked by clicking Internet Traffic under WAN Setup on the Main Menu bar. The WAN1 and WAN2 ports are programmed separately. A WAN port shuts down once its traffic limit is reached when this feature is enabled.
