Tools Section
Through this section are tools which you can use to
perform maintenance tasks.
The tools available are:
- Secure Remote Login. It allows you to log in to your firewall
system in a secure fashion.
- Backup/Restore your configuration file. It allows you to put
your firewall configuration file onto a diskette (for example) to
easily replicate your firewall system's settings onto other firewalls,
or restoring your firewall to a known working configuration.
- Update software. It allows you to keep your firewall system up
to date with the latest software and security updates.
On the main page is a "Shutdown the firewall"
button.
Clicking on this button will shutdown the
firewall system completely and, as a consequence, all the network
machines behind it will not be able to use its services until you boot
up your firewall again.
