VPN Firewall and Network Management
ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336Gv2 Reference Manual
WARNING!
Do not try to go online, turn off the VPN firewall, shutdown the
computer or do anything else to the VPN firewall until the VPN
firewall finishes the upgrade! When the Test light turns off, wait a
few more seconds before continuing.
4.
After the VPN firewall has rebooted, check the firmware version in the Router Status
screen to verify that your VPN firewall now has the new firmware installed.
Note:
In some cases, such as a major upgrade, it may be necessary to
erase the configuration and manually reconfigure your VPN firewall
after upgrading it. Refer to the notes on the firmware download page
to find out if this is required.
Configuring Date and Time Service
Date, time and NTP server designations can be configure on the Time Zone screen. Network
Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol that is used to synchronize computer clock times in a network
of computers.
To set time, date, and NTP servers:
1.
Select Administration > Time Zone from the menu. The Time Zone screen is displayed.
2.
From the
Date/Time
drop-down list, choose the local time zone. This is required in order
for scheduling to work correctly. The VPN firewall includes a real-time clock (RTC),
which it uses for scheduling.
3.
If supported in your region, select
Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings Time
.

4.
Select an NTP Server option:
•
Use Default NTP Servers
. The RTC is updated regularly by contacting a NETGEAR
NTP server on the Internet. A primary and secondary (backup) server are preloaded.
•
Use Custom NTP Servers
. To use a particular NTP server, enter the name or IP
address of the NTP Server in the
Server 1 Name/IP Address
field. You can enter the
address of a backup NTP server in the
Server 2 Name/IP Address
field. If you select
this option and leave either the Server 1 or Server 2 fields empty, they will be set to
the default Netgear NTP servers.
Note:
If you select the default NTP servers or if you enter a custom server
FQDN, the VPN firewall must determine the IP address of the NTP
server by a DNS lookup. You must configure a DNS server address
on the WAN ISP Settings before the VPN firewall can perform this
lookup.
