System Log

As well as viewing the system log entries locally the System Log page allows a network administrator to configure

the router’s

system log to be sent to a remote system log server or to be emailed to nominated email addresses of the administrator’s choi

ce.

Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS or DDNS is used for the updating in real time of Domain Name System (DNS) name servers to keep the active DNS

configuration of their hostnames, addresses and other information up to date. To use these settings you will need a dynamic DNS

account with Dyndns.org, No-IP.com, TZO.com or dhs.org.

QoS (Quality of Service)

Quality of Service (QoS) refers to resource reservation control mechanisms with the ability to provide a different priority to different

applications, users, or data flows, or to guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow. For example, a required packet

transfer rate or delay may be guaranteed.

Figure 39: Advanced - Advanced Settings - QoS

OPTION

DEFINITION

QoS

Select the Enable option to enable Quality of Service (QoS).

WAN Interface

Select the WAN interface you wish to configure QoS for.

QoS Mode

Select the QoS Mode to use.

Bandwidth of Upstream

Set the Upstream limit in Kilobits per second (Kbps).

Bandwidth of Downstream

Set the Downstream limit in Kilobits per second (Kbps).

Flexible Bandwidth Management

Select this option to Enable to allow the router to assign the QoS percentage rates or set this option to

disable and manually enter the QoS percentage rates for the Item fields.

SNMP

SNMP, short for Simple Network Management Protocol is used mostly in network management systems to monitor network-

attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention. SNMP consists of a set of standards for network

management, including an application layer protocol, a database schema, and a set of data objects.

OPTION

DEFINITION

Enable SNMP

The option to disable or enable the SNMP function.

Get Community

An SNMP community is the group that devices and management stations running SNMP belong to. It helps

define where information is sent. The Get Community field gets the current community name is used to identify

the group.

A SNMP device or agent may belong to more than one SNMP community. It will not respond to

requests from management stations that do not belong to one of its communities. SNMP default communities

are: Write

private; Read

–

public.

Set Community

An SNMP community is the group that devices and management stations running SNMP belong to. It helps

define where information is sent. The Set Community field sets the new community name used to identify the

group.

A SNMP device or agent may belong to more than one SNMP community. It will not respond to

requests from management stations that do not belong to one of its communities. SNMP default communities

are: Write

IP 1

Enter the IP address for one of the local clients connected to router. SNMP will then gather and transmit the

network information that you specified.

IP 2

Enter the IP address for the second of the local clients connected to router. SNMP will then gather and transmit

the network information specified.

IP 3

Enter the IP address for the third of the local clients connected to router. SNMP will then gather and transmit

the network information specified.

IP 4

Enter the IP address for the fourth of the local clients connected to router. SNMP will then gather and transmit

the network information specified.

SNMP Version

Select the version SNMP you wish to use with the NF2.

WAN Access IP Address

Enter the WAN Access IP Address used to provide (WAN) Wide Area Network connectivity to the internet.

Routing

The Routing page in the Advanced Settings section of the NF2 provides a network administrator with the means to configure the

routing method that the NF2 will use, either dynamic routing or static routing. Routes are called static if they do not change over

time. Thus a static routing table is loaded with values when the system starts and the routes do not change unless an error is

detected. Conversely, dynamic routing refers to a system that can change its routing table information over time. With dynamic

routing, software known as RIP (Routing Information Protocol) interacts with network devices and learns the optimal route to each

location. Then RIP updates the local routing table to ensure datagrams follow the optimal routes.

Figure 41: Advanced - Advanced - Settings - Routing

Dynamic Routing: Routing Information Protocol (RIP) will exchange information about different host destinations for working out

routes throughout the network.

Please note: Only select RIPv2 if you have a different subnet in your network. Otherwise, please select RIPv1.

Static Routing: For static routing, you can specify up to 8 routing rules. You need to enter the destination IP address; subnet mask,

gateway, and hop for each routing rule, then enable the rule by clicking the Enable checkbox.
