Vantage CNM User's Guide

1.1.5 Complete Device Configuration

Use the Vantage configuration menus to configure its features including LAN, WAN, NAT,
firewall, VPN, static routes, wireless etc. You may also directly access any device's web
configurator from the object tree by simply right-clicking on it, giving you total control over
any device within Vantage.

1.1.6 Configuration Synchronization

Make sure a device configuration within Vantage is absolutely consistent with its actual
configuration at any time by using the Vantage synchronization screen. This means that local
configuration changes can be detected by selecting the Vantage Synchronize menu, therefore
allowing flexibility with control.

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 VPN Editor

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. Batch upgrades can be scheduled using
the upgrade scheduler. Device owners can be notified automatically and reports can be
generated detailing any device's firmware upload history.
