DESCRIPTION

Enable

Select this check box to allow Vantage CNM to manage your ZyWALL.

 

 

Server IP Address/

Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name of the Vantage server.

FQDN

If the Vantage CNM server is on a different subnet to the ZyWALL and is

 

behind a NAT router, enter the WAN IP address of the NAT router here and

 

configure the NAT router to forward UDP port 11864 traffic to the Vantage

 

CNM server.

 

If the Vantage CNM server is behind a firewall, you may have to create a rule

 

on the firewall to allow UDP port 11864 traffic through to the Vantage CNM

 

server (most (new) ZyXEL firewalls automatically allow this).

 

 

Transfer Protocol

Select whether the Vantage CNM sessions should use regular HTTP

 

connections or secure HTTPS connections.

 

Note: HTTPS is recommended.

 

The Vantage CNM server must use the same setting.

 

 

Device Management

Select Auto to have the ZyWALL allow Vantage CNM sessions to connect to

IP

any of the ZyWALL’s IP addresses.

 

Select Custom to specify the ZyWALL’s IP address that allows Vantage CNM

 

sessions. Configure the Custom IP field if you select this. You might for

 

example need to specify the IP address when using a WAN trunk that uses

 

multiple WAN IP addresses.

 

 

Custom IP

Specify the ZyWALL’s IP address that allows Vantage CNM sessions. This

 

field applies when you select Custom in the Device Management IP field.

 

 

Keepalive Interval

Set how often the ZyWALL sends a keep alive packet to the Vantage CNM

 

server if there is no other traffic. The keep alive packets maintain the Vantage

 

CNM server’s control session.

 

 

Periodic Inform

Select this option to have the ZyWALL periodically send “Inform” messages to

Interval

the Vantage CNM server.
