ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N
Assign Bandwidth Profiles
When you apply a QoS profile, the WAN bandwidth does not change. You change the WAN
bandwidth that is assigned to a service or application by applying a bandwidth profile. The
purpose of bandwidth profiles is to provide a method for allocating and limiting traffic, thus
allocating LAN users sufficient bandwidth while preventing them from consuming all the
bandwidth on your WAN links.
For more information about bandwidth profiles, see Create Bandwidth Profiles on p
age 139.
Monitoring Tools for Traffic Management
The wireless VPN firewall includes several tools that can be used to monitor the traffic
conditions of the firewall and content-filtering engine and to monitor the users’ access to the
Internet and the types of traffic that they are allowed to have. See Chapter 10, Monitor
System Access and Performance, for a description of these tools.
System Management
System management tasks are described in the following sections:
• Change Passwords and Administrator and Guest Settings
• Configure Remote Management Access
• Use a Simple Network Management Protocol Manager
• Manage the Configuration File
• Update the Firmware
• Configure Date and Time Service
Change Passwords and Administrator and Guest Settings
The default administrator and default guest passwords for the web management interface are
both password. NETGEAR recommends that you change the password for the administrator
account to a more secure password, and that you configure a separate secure password for
the guest account.
 To modify the administrator and guest passwords and idle time-out settings:
1. Select Users > Users. The
Users screen displays. (The following figure shows the
wireless VPN firewall’s default users—admin and guest—and, as an example, several
other users in the List of Users table.)
