One of the advantages of a hardware appliance, in addition to its compatibility and
extremely low profile on the network, is its ease of use. Configuration of the R3000
can seem disarmingly simple at times, but when the hardware and software are
designed to work together, the levels of complication decrease and robust power
and efficiency significantly increase.
One of the challenges of simplicity is that it offers little variation in the appearance
of the interface used to administer the R3000. Spending only a short time config-
uring and customizing the many capabilities of the R3000 quickly overcomes any
confusion related to this simple similarity, and the following exercises are meant to
provide a very explicit and easy-to-follow way to become comfortable with the
administrator console.
This section of the evaluation manual is to guide the evaluator, in a linear fashion,
through the most common and useful features of the R3000, starting with the
elements that should be configured first and continuing with features that require
an understanding of the steps learned while configuring those first elements. Once
one gets the basic flow of how filtering options are set up, it becomes quite simple
to quickly make adjustments, if needed. And, the R3000's incredible capacity to be
configured once and left alone, or to support extensive customization and special-
ization, make it the most versatile and network friendly filter on the market.
