Using the Command-Line Interface

You can access the command-line interface (CLI) using the console port on the rear panel of the
VPN firewall (see "Rear Panel" on page
To access the CLI from a communications terminal when the VPN firewall is still set to its factory

1. From your computer's command-line prompt, enter the following command:
telnet 192.168.1.1
2. Enter admin and password when prompted for the login and password information (or enter
guest and password to log in as a read-only guest).

Using 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 describe
the system configuration. These variables can then be queried (and sometimes set) by managing
applications.
SNMP lets you monitor and manage your VPN firewall from an SNMP manager. It provides a
remote means to monitor and control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistics
collection, performance, and security.
Managing the SNMP Configuration
To create a new SNMP configuration entry:
1. Select Administration > SNMP from the menu. The SNMP screen displays (see
