Vantage CNM 2.0 User's Guide
1.1.7 Firewall
Create consistent device firewall policies by reusing successful configurations in other ZyXEL devices.
Ensure consistency and compliance with all security policies as well as constantly monitor all devices
and act immediately if things go wrong.
1.1.8 One-Click VPN
Graphically create VPN (Virtual Private Networking) tunnels between devices by simply clicking a device
and dragging a "tunnel" to another device. Pre-configured tunnel settings mean that even non-technical
administrators can set up and manage tunnels with minimum effort.
1.1.9 Configuration File Management
Back up, restore and reset to factory default any device's configuration file from one location.
1.1.10 Firmware Upgrade
Batch download device firmware from Vantage (after downloading the firmware from a website) to
multiple devices located anywhere, minimizing time, effort and room for error as well as ensuring
firmware consistency across devices. Device owners can be notified automatically and reports can be
generated detailing any device's firmware upload history.
1.1.11 Monitoring and Notifications
Use the Status Monitor to give real time messages (of who has logged in for example) and the alarm
screens to know what is going on in your management domain. Alarms are warnings of hardware failure,
security breaches, attacks or illegal Vantage login attempts. You can configure Vantage to notify you by
e-mail in the event a device goes down or has triggered an alarm. You can also configure Vantage to
automatically notify device owners and other administrators when a configuration (such as firmware
upgrade) is going to take place.
1.1.12 Logs
Logs detail information pertaining to customer accounts, devices and Vantage that is essential for
troubleshooting or historical analysis. Logs and alarms facilitate the secure, smooth operation of all
Vantage-registered ZyXEL devices across the globe.
1.1.13 Data Maintenance
Back up all Vantage configurations including firmware uploaded to the Vantage server, creating various
Vantage "snap shots" that may be restored at a later date.
1.1.14 Vantage System Management
Configure Vantage server public IP address, FTP, syslog, mail servers, set a management idle time-out
and protect Vantage from brute-force password dictionary attacks in the Vantage system menus.
Furthermore, you may pre-configure notification recipients and alter Administrator privileges from here,
making Vantage a truly global tool.
1.1.15 License Management
Simply login into www.myZyXEL.com to acquire a new activation key when you purchase an expansion
license letting you manage yet even more devices with Vantage CNM 2.0.
