NETGEAR Client Connection Page for ProSafe Wireless-N VPN Firewall

ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N

•To maintain security, the wireless VPN firewall rejects a login that uses http://address rather than the SSL https://address.

•The first time that you remotely connect to the wireless VPN firewall with a browser through an SSL connection, you might get a warning message regarding the SSL certificate. If you are using a Windows computer with Internet Explorer 7.0 or later, simply click Yes to accept the certificate.

Tip: If you are using a Dynamic DNS service such as TZO, you can identify the WAN IP address of your wireless VPN firewall by running tracert from the Windows Run menu option. Trace the route to your registered FQDN. For example, enter tracert wireless VPN firewall.mynetgear.net, and the WAN IP address that your ISP assigned to the wireless VPN firewall is displayed.

Use the Command-Line Interface

You can access the command-line interface (CLI) using the console port on the rear panel of the wireless VPN firewall (see Rear Panel on page 18).

You can access the CLI from a communications terminal when the wireless VPN firewall is still set to its factory defaults (or use your own settings if you have changed them).

To access the CLI:

1.From your computer’s command-line prompt, enter the following command: telnet <ip address>

in which ip address is the IP address of the wireless VPN firewall.

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).

3.Enter exit to end the CLI session.

Any configuration changes made through the CLI are not preserved after a reboot or power cycle unless you issue the CLI save command after making the changes.

Use a Simple Network Management Protocol Manager

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) forms part of the Internet Protocol Suite as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). SNMP is used in network management systems such as the NETGEAR ProSafe Network Management Software (NMS200) to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention.

SNMP exposes management data in the form of variables on the managed systems, which describe the system configuration. These variables can then be queried (and sometimes set) by managing applications.
