ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N
the wireless VPN firewall’s WAN IP address is 192.168.15.175 and the port number is
443, type the following in your browser: https://192.168.15.175:443.
The wireless VPN firewall’s remote login URL is:
https://<IP_
address>:<port_number> or
https://<FullyQualifiedDomainName>:<port_number>
Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP
addresses as practical. See
Set User Login Policies on page 257 for
instructions on restricting administrator access by IP address.
Note: To maintain security, the wireless VPN firewall rejects a login that
uses http://address rather than the SSL https://address.
Note: 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 5.5 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 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 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
d
escribe the system configuration. These variables can then be queried (and sometimes set)
by managing applications.
SNMP lets you monitor and manage your wireless VPN firewall from an SNMP manage
r. It
provides a remote means to monitor and control network devices, and to manage
configurations, statistics collection, performance, and security.
