2.14.3 Network Services
Several standard network services can be enabled or disabled via the easily accessible Net-
work Services Panel under MANAGEMENT > Network Setup:
The Network Services panel has ON/OFF toggle switches for the following daemons and
features:
System Time Message: A once-per second Time Message sent out via Multicast;
for details, see "System Time Message" on page94.
Daytime Protocol, RFC-867: A standard Internet service, featuring an ASCII day-
time representation, often used for diagnostic purposes.
Time Protocol, RFC-868: This protocol is used to provide a machine-readable,
site-independent date and time.
Telnet: Remote configuration
SSH+SFTP: Secure Shell cryptographic network protocol for secure data com-
munication and secure access to logs.
HTTPS: Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure
tcpdump: A LINUX program that can be used to monitor network traffic by inspect-
ing tcp packets. Default = ON.
If not needed, or wanted (out of concern for potential security risks), tcpdump can
be disabled permanently: Once toggled to OFF, and after executing a page reload,
tcpdump will be deleted from the system: The toggle switch will be removed, and
the function cannot be enabled again (even after a software upgrade).
iptables
While not accessible via the WebUI, iptables (an application allowing for customizable
access restrictions) are supported.
Note that iptables is always ON, and its policies can only be accessed via the Command
Line Interface (see "CLICommands" on page514) in combination with the Sudo com-
mand. Please also note that you need to have admin user rights to run this command.
Note: A listing of recommended and default network settings can be found
under "Default and Recommended Configurations" on page322.
2.14.4 Static Routes
