Chapter 6: Setting up and Configuring the Router
System Management Tab - SNMP
10/100 16-Port VPN Router
System Management Tab - SNMP
SNMP, Simple Network Management Protocol, is a network protocol that provides network administrators with
the ability to monitor the status of the Router and receive notification of any critical events as they occur on the
network. The Router supports SNMP v1/v2c and all relevant Management Information Base II (MIBII) groups. The
Router replies to SNMP Get commands for MIBII via any LAN (local) interface and supports a custom MIB for
generating trap messages.
To enable SNMP, keep the
Enable
box checked. To disable the SNMP agent, remove the checkmark.
To configure SNMP, complete all fields on this screen.
System Name. Enter the hostname of the Router.
System Contact. Enter the name of the network administrator for the Router, as well as a contact number or
e-mail address.
System Location. Enter the location of the Router. For example, you could include the name of the building, floor
number, and room location, such as Head Office - Floor 5 - Networking 3.
Get Community Name. Create a name for the group or community of administrators who can view the Router’s
SNMP data. The default name is
public
.
Set Community Name. Create a name for the group or community of administrators who can receive the Router’s
SNMP traps. The default name is
private
. A name must be entered in this field.
Trap Community Name. Enter the password required by the remote host computer that will receive trap messages
or notices sent by the Router.
Send SNMP Trap to. Enter the IP address of the remote host computer that will receive the trap messages.

Chapter 6: Setting up and Configuring the Router
System Management Tab - Diagnostic
10/100 16-Port VPN Router
System Management Tab - Diagnostic
The Router has two built-in tools, DNS Name Lookup and Ping, which are used for troubleshooting network
problems.
The Internet has a service called the Domain Name Service (DNS), which allows users to enter an easily
remembered host name, such as www.linksys.com, instead of numerical TCP/IP addresses to access Internet
resources. The Router’s DNS Name Lookup tool will return the numerical TCP/IP address of a host name.
The ping test bounces a packet off a machine on the Internet back to the sender. This test shows if the Router is
able to contact the remote host. If users on the LAN are having problems accessing services on the Internet, try
pinging the DNS server or other machine at the ISP’s location. If this test is successful, try pinging devices
outside the ISP. This will show if the problem lies with the ISP’s connection.
Select which tool you want to use,
DNS Name Lookup
or
Ping
.
DNS Name Lookup
Before using this tool, make sure the IP address of the DNS server is entered on the Network page of the Setup
tab; otherwise, this tool will not work.
Enter the host name in the
Look up the name
field, and click the
Go
button. (Do not add the prefix
http://
or else
you will get an error message.) The Router will then query the DNS server and display the result at the bottom of
the screen.
Ping
Before using this tool make sure you know the device or host’s IP address. If you do not know it, use the Router’s
DNS Name Lookup tool to find the IP address.
In the
Ping host or IP address
field, enter the IP address of the device being pinged, and click the
Go
button. The
test will take a few seconds to complete. When completed, the Router will display the results at the bottom of the
screen. The results include this information: number of packets transmitted, received, or lost, as well as round
trip time (minimum, maximum, and average).

System Management Tab - Restart
If you need to restart the Router, it is highly recommended that you use the Restart tool on this screen. When you
restart from the
Restart
screen, then the Router will send out your log file before it is reset.
Before restarting the Router, decide which firmware version you want the Router to use. The Active Firmware
Version is the one currently used by the Router. The Backup Firmware Version may be the same as the active one,
or it may be an older version if you have upgraded the Router’s firmware. Select which firmware version you want
the Router to use, the
Active Firmware Version
or
Backup Firmware Version
. Then click the
Restart Router
button to restart the Router.
System Management Tab - Setting Backup
This screen allows you to make a backup file of your preferences file for the Router. To save the backup file, you
need to export the configuration file. To use the preferences file, you need to import the configuration file.
Import Configuration File
To import a configuration file, first specify where your preferences file is located. Click the
Browse
button, and a
dialog box will appear and ask you to select the appropriate configuration file. After you select the file, click the
Import
button. This process may take up to a minute. Then you will need to restart the Router so the changes will
take effect.
Export Configuration File
To export the Router’s current configuration file, click the
Export
button, and a dialog box will appear and ask you
to select a location where you would like to store your preferences file. This file will be called
RV016.exp
by
default, but you may rename it if you wish. This process may take up to a minute.

Chapter 6: Setting up and Configuring the Router
Port Management Tab - Port Setup
10/100 16-Port VPN Router
Port Management Tab - Port Setup
On this screen you can choose the number of WAN ports the Router will provide and configure the connection
settings for each port, such as priority, speed, and duplex. You can also enable or disable the auto-negotiation
feature for all ports.
From the drop-down menu, select how many WAN ports you prefer to use. The default is
2
, while the maximum is
7. You can also change the number of WAN ports using the Network page of the Setup tab. If you change the
number on this screen, then the number on the
Network
screen will change accordingly. Make sure the network
configuration matches the number of WAN port settings on this screen.
If you change the number of WAN ports, a confirmation message will appear. Make sure your network
configuration matches the new WAN settings. Then click the
OK
button to save the new setting.
The Basic Per Port Config. table will display the WAN port numbers in the Port ID column and their respective
settings in the Interface, Disable, Priority, Speed, and Duplex columns. Click
Enable
in the Auto Negotiation
column if you want the Router’s ports to auto-negotiate connection speeds and duplex mode; then you will not
need to set up speed and duplex settings separately.
Basic Per Port Config. Table
Port ID. The port number or name is displayed.
Interface. The port’s interface type is shown here.
Disable. You can select specific ports to disable. Click the checkbox to disable a specific port.
Priority. From the drop-down menu, select
High
or
Normal
for port-based QoS (Quality of Service). QoS is used to
maximize network performance, and this setting allows you to prioritize performance on all ports.
Speed. You can manually configure each port’s speed as 10Mbps or 100Mbps.
Duplex. You can manually configure each port’s duplex mode as half-duplex or full-duplex.
Auto Negotiation. You can set each port to auto-negotiation mode, so you will not need to set up speed and duplex
settings separately.
