how to use SSL VPN.

Using QoS to Shift the Traffic Mix

The QoS priority settings determine the priority and, in turn, the quality of service for the traffic
passing through the firewall. The QoS is set individually for each service.
• You can accept the default priority defined by the service itself by not changing its QoS
setting.
• You can change the priority to a higher or lower value than its default setting to give the
service higher or lower priority than it otherwise would have.
The QoS priority settings conform to the IEEE 802.1D-1998 (formerly 802.1p) standard for class
of service tag.
You will not change the WAN bandwidth used by changing any QoS priority settings. But you will
change the mix of traffic through the WAN ports by granting some services a higher priority than
others. The quality of a service is impacted by its QoS setting, however.
See "Setting Quality of Service (QoS) Priorities" on page 4-17
this feature.

Tools for Traffic Management

The ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN includes several tools that can be
used to monitor the traffic conditions of the firewall and control who has access to the Internet and
the types of traffic they are allowed to have. See
for a discussion of the tools.

Changing Passwords and Administrator Settings

The default administrator and guest password for the Web Configuration Manager is password.
Netgear recommends that you change this password to a more secure password. You can also
configure a separate password for the guest account.
To modify the Admin user account settings, including password:
1. Select Users > Users from the main menu. The Users screen will display.
