These features can be found by clicking on the appropriate heading in the Main Menu of the browser interface. The ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN offers many tools for managing the network traffic to optimize its performance. You can also control administrator access, be alerted to important events requiring prompt action, monitor the firewall status, perform diagnostics, and manage the firewall configuration file. This chapter contains the following sections: • "Performance Management" • "Changing Passwords and Administrator Settings" • "Enabling Remote Management Access" • "Using an SNMP Manager" • "Settings Backup and Firmware Upgrade" • "Configuring Date and Time Service" Performance Management Performance management consists of controlling the traffic through the VPN firewall so that the necessary traffic gets through when there is a bottleneck and either reducing unnecessary traffic or rescheduling some traffic to low-peak times to prevent bottlenecks from occurring in the first place. The VPN firewall has the necessary features and tools to help the network manager accomplish these goals.
