Easy Installation and Management

You can install, configure, and operate the STM within minutes after connecting it to the network.
The following features simplify installation and management tasks:
• Browser-based management. Browser-based configuration allows you to easily configure
your firewall from almost any type of personal computer, such as Windows, Macintosh, or
Linux. A user-friendly Setup Wizard is provided and online help documentation is built into
the browser-based Web Management Interface.
• SNMP. The STM supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to let you
monitor and manage log resources from an SNMP-compliant system manager. The SNMP
system configuration lets you change the system variables for MIB2.
• Diagnostic functions. The STMl incorporates built-in diagnostic functions such as Ping,
Trace Route, DNS lookup, and remote restart.
• Remote management. The STM allows you to login to the Web Management Interface from
a remote location on the Internet. For security, you can limit remote management access to a
specified remote IP address or range of addresses.
• Visual monitoring. The STM's front panel LEDs provide an easy way to monitor its status
and activity.
