Easy Installation and Management
You can install, configure, and operate the SRXN3205 within minutes after connecting it to the
network. The following features simplify installation and management tasks:
• Browser-Based Management. Browser-based configuration allows you to easily configure
your SRXN3205 and Wireless access from almost any type of personal computer, such as
Windows, Macintosh, or Linux. A user-friendly Setup Wizard is provided and online help
documentation is built into the browser-based Web Management Interface.
• Auto Detection of ISP. The SRXN3205 automatically senses the type of Internet connection,
asking you only for the information required for your type of ISP account.
• VPN Wizard. The SRXN3205 includes the NETGEAR VPN Wizard to easily configure IPsec
VPN tunnels according to the recommendations of the Virtual Private Network Consortium
(VPNC) to ensure the IPsec VPN tunnels are interoperable with other VPNC-compliant VPN
firewalls and clients.
• SNMP. The SRXN3205 supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to let
you monitor and manage log resources from an SNMP-compliant system manager. The SNMP
system configuration lets you change the system variables for MIB2.
• Diagnostic Functions. The SRXN3205 incorporates built-in diagnostic functions such as
Ping, Trace Route, DNS lookup, and remote reboot.
• Remote Management. The SRXN3205 allows you to login to the Web Management Interface
from a remote location on the Internet. For security, you can limit remote management access
to a specified remote IP address or range of addresses.
• Visual monitoring. The SRXN3205’s front panel LEDs provide an easy way to monitor its
status and activity.
