Chapter 7 Managing Your Network This chapter describes how to perform network management tasks with your FVL328 Prosafe High Speed VPN Firewall. Protecting Access to Your FVL328 Firewall For security reasons, the firewall has its own user name and password. Also, after a period of inactivity for a set length of time, the administrator login will automatically disconnect. You can use the procedures below to change the firewall's password and the amount of time for the administrator's login timeout. Note: The user name and password are not the same as any user name or password your may use to log in to your Internet connection. NETGEAR recommends that you change this password to a more secure password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of both upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters. How to Change the Built-In Password 1. Log in to the firewall at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever password and LAN address you have chosen for the firewall. 2. From the main menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select Set Password to bring up the menu shown below. Managing Your Network 7-1 May 2004, 202-10030-02
