Tools Section
Under this section you have access to some tools to
perform maintenance tasks.
The tools available are:
- Secure Remote Login. It allows you to login to your firewall
system in a secure fashion.
- Backup/Restore your configuration file. It allows you to put
your firewall configuration file into a diskette (for example) for
easily replication of your firewall system's settings into 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/security updates.
In the main page there is a button to "Shutdown the
firewall".
Pressing this button will shutdown the
firewall system completely and as a consequence all your network
machines that are behind of it will not be able to use its services
until you restore power to the firewall.
