Use The Command-Line Interface; Use A Simple Network Management Protocol Manager - NETGEAR ProSAFE SRX5308 Reference Manual

Tip: If you are using a Dynamic DNS service such as TZO, you can identify
the WAN IP address of your VPN firewall by running tracert from the
Windows Run menu option. Trace the route to your registered FQDN.
For example, enter tracert VPN firewall.mynetgear.net, and
the WAN IP address that your ISP assigned to the VPN firewall is
displayed.

Use 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
You can access the CLI from a communications terminal when the VPN firewall is still set to
its factory defaults (or use your own settings if you have changed them).

To access the CLI:
1. From your computer's command-line prompt, enter the following command:
telnet <ip address>
in which ip address is the IP address of the VPN firewall.
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).
3. Enter exit to end the CLI session.
Any configuration changes made through the CLI are not preserved after a reboot or power
cycle unless you issue the CLI save command after making the changes.

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 such as the NETGEAR ProSafe Network Management Software
(NMS200) 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 the 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. The VPN firewall supports SNMPv1,
SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3.

To configure the SNMP settings:
1. Select Administration > SNMP. The SNMP screen displays. (The following figure
contains an example.)
