•Use the System > Host Name screen (see Section 50.2 on page 784) to configure a unique name for the ZyWALL in your network.

•Use the System > Date/Time screen (see Section 50.3 on page 785) to configure the date and time for the ZyWALL.

•Use the System > Console Speed screen (see Section 50.4 on page 789) to configure the console port speed when you connect to the ZyWALL via the console port using a terminal emulation program.

•Use the System > DNS screen (see Section 50.5 on page 789) to configure the DNS (Domain Name System) server used for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa.

•Use the System > WWW screens (see Section 50.6 on page 797) to configure settings for HTTP or HTTPS access to the ZyWALL and how the login and access user screens look.

•Use the System > SSH screen (see Section 50.7 on page 814) to configure SSH (Secure SHell) used to securely access the ZyWALL’s command line interface. You can specify which zones allow SSH access and from which IP address the access can come.

•Use the System > TELNET screen (see Section 50.8 on page 819) to configure Telnet to access the ZyWALL’s command line interface. Specify which zones allow Telnet access and from which IP address the access can come.

•Use the System > FTP screen (see Section 50.9 on page 821) to specify from which zones FTP can be used to access the ZyWALL. You can also specify from which IP addresses the access can come. You can upload and download the ZyWALL’s firmware and configuration files using FTP. Please also see Chapter 52 on page 847 for more information about firmware and configuration files.

•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 50.10 on page 823) 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.
