Chapter 43 System

•Your ZyWALL can act as an SNMP agent, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the ZyWALL through the network. Use the System > SNMP screen (see Section 43.11 on page 670) to configure SNMP settings, including from which zones SNMP can be used to access the ZyWALL. You can also specify from which IP addresses the access can come.

•Vantage CNM (Centralized Network Management) is a browser-based global management tool that allows an administrator to manage ZyXEL devices. Use the System > Vantage CNM screen (see Section 43.12 on page 674) to allow your ZyWALL to be managed by the Vantage CNM server.

•Use the System > Language screen (see Section 43.13 on page 677) to set a language for the ZyWALL’s Web Configurator screens.

Note: See each section for related background information and term definitions.
