Shortcuts

All pages have buttons for quick navigation to the other main pages. You also see the name of the firewall below the line of buttons.

The top page

The top page is the first page you come to when you connect to the firewall. From this page, you can access Basic Configuration, Administration, Network, Rules and Relays, Logging, SIP, Failover, Virtual Private Networks, and Quality of Service (if you have installed the QoS module). You can also access a special page by the text links below each category name. Go to the top page by clicking the logotype at the top left of a web page.

Basic Configuration

Under Basic Configuration, enter the name of the firewall and make settings for the configuration traffic. You can also enter IP addresses for gateway and DNS server, and switch the version control on or off. Here you also configure if the firewall should interact with a RADIUS, a DynDNS.org or an SNMP server, and if it should run a DHCP server.

Administration

Under Administration, you store or load a configuration. You can also test your configuration to see if it works the way you planned, upgrade or reboot your firewall, set date, time and language, and configure administration users and passwords.

Network

Under Network, you enter the firewall's IP address, the routing for the different networks, and define groups of IP addresses which are used in various settings of the firewall.

You also define what traffic should be NAT:ed through the firewall.

Rules and Relays

Under Rules and Relays, you create names for services, define protocols and time classes, and then set rules and relays that define what traffic is allowed or blocked from one net to another.

The DHCP relay is also configured here.

Logging

Under Logging, you specify the type of traffic you want to log/alarm and how it should be logged. You can also view the logs and the traffic load here.

SIP

Under SIP, you configure the SIP traffic and the SIP registrar in the firewall. You can also view current registrations and SIP sessions.

Failover

Under Failover, you configure the failover team and its dedicated network. You can also view the status of the other team member.

Virtual Private Networks

Under Virtual Private Networks, you configure the encrypted traffic between your firewall and other VPN gateways and clients. VPN connections can be made using IPSec or PPTP.

Quality of Service

The Quality of Service module enables bandwidth limitation and prioritizing for different kinds of traffic through the firewall. For each interface you can state a guaranteed and a maximum bandwidth for classes of traffic.

About ...

Under About ..., you get basic information about the firewall's serial number, software version and links to more information.
