CHAPTER 1
Introducing Vantage CNM
This chapter introduces the main applications and features of Vantage CNM. It also introduces
the ways you can manage Vantage CNM.
1.1 Overview
Vantage Centralized Network Management (“Vantage CNM”) helps network administrators
monitor and manage a distributed network of ZyXEL network devices. A typical application is
shown in the following example.
Figure 1 Vantage CNM Application
C
A
In this example, you use the Vantage CNM web configurator (A) to access the Vantage CNM
server (B). The Vantage CNM server is connected to the devices (C), and you can
• Monitor all the devices in the network and receive alarms in one place
• Create building blocks to configure one or more devices
• Set up other administrators who are allowed to perform specific functions for specific
devices
You can also manage configuration files, upload firmware, and activate subscription services,
such as Intrusion Detection and Protection (IDP) and content filtering, on one or more devices.
See Appendix A on page 353 for a complete list of features and supported devices.

Chapter 1 Introducing Vantage CNM
1.2 Ways to Manage Vantage CNM
Use the web configurator to access and manage Vantage CNM. See the Quick Start Guide for
instructions to access the web configurator and this User’s Guide for more information about
the screens.
1.3 Suggestions for Using Vantage CNM
Do the following things regularly to make Vantage CNM more secure and to manage Vantage
CNM more effectively.
•Change the root password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of
different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the root password and put it in a safe place. If you forget the root password,
contact your local vendor.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an
earlier working configuration may be useful or necessary if the system becomes unstable
or even crashes. If you have to re-install Vantage CNM, you could simply restore your last
configuration afterwards.

5.3.1.2 PPPoE Encapsulation
The device supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF Draft
standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband
modem (DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. The PPPoE option is for a dial-up connection
using PPPoE.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with
existing access control systems (for example Radius). PPPoE provides a login and
authentication method that the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking software can activate,
and therefore requires no new learning or procedures for Windows users.
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network services,
a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily
create and offer new IP services for individuals.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires
no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.

RIP-1 is universally supported; but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is
probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network

difference being that RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses
multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router machines since they
generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address and so will not receive the RIP
packets. However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your network
must use multicasting, also. By default, the RIP Version field is set to RIP-1.

5.3.2.2 PPPoE Encapsulation
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is an IETF standard (RFC 2516) specifying
how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (DSL, cable, wireless, etc.)
connection. The PPPoE option is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with
existing access control systems (for example RADIUS).
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network services,
a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily
create and offer new IP services for individuals.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires
no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the device (rather than individual computers), the
computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the device does that part of
the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs’ computers will have access.

5.3.5 Advanced Modem Setup (ZyNOS ZyWALL)
5.3.5.1 AT Command Strings
For regular telephone lines, the default Dial string tells the modem that the line uses tone
dialing. ATDT is the command for a switch that requires tone dialing. If your switch requires
pulse dialing, change the string to ATDP.
For ISDN lines, there are many more protocols and operational modes. Please consult the
documentation of your TA. You may need additional commands in both Dial and Init strings.
5.3.5.1.1 DTR Signal
The majority of WAN devices default to hanging up the current call when the DTR (Data
Terminal Ready) signal is dropped by the DTE. When the Drop DTR When Hang Up check
box is selected, the device uses this hardware signal to force the WAN device to hang up, in
addition to issuing the drop command ATH.

to exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction field
controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets. Select the RIP direction
from Both/In Only/Out Only/None. When set to Both or Out Only, the
device broadcasts its routing table periodically. When set to Both or In Only,
it incorporates the RIP information that it receives; when set to None, it does
not send any RIP packets and ignores any RIP packets received. Both is the
default.
RIP packets that the device sends (it recognizes both formats when
receiving). RIP-1 is universally supported but RIP-2 carries more information.
RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual
network topology. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2
format; the difference being that RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router
machines since they generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address and
so will not receive the RIP packets. However, if one router uses multicasting,
then all routers on your network must use multicasting, also. By default, RIP
direction is set to Both and the Vers io n set to RIP-1.
