Saving Configurations Entered
with the GUI
Configuration changes applied using the GUI can be saved as a configuration
file by clicking the Save button at the top of the sidebar menu. A pop-up Save
window gives you the option of saving to the current configuration file, to
another existing file, or to a new file. You can also choose to use this
configuration when the router restarts.
When the Save button is red, this indicates that changes have been made to the
configuration and not yet saved. If you attempt to exit the GUI without saving
the configuration, a pop-up window lets you choose whether or not to save it.
The configuration file you create with the GUI Save function records
passwords in encrypted form, not plaintext.
Troubleshooting Traffic Flow
If no traffic is passing through the router, or to or from the LAN, the DMZ or
both, try the following checks. Each check includes in parentheses how to find
relevant information in the GUI.
■
Check that the router’s link to the LAN is functioning by checking the
interface status (Monitoring) and whether the link LED is lit. If the LED is
not lit, or the appropriate interfaces do not have an “active” status, then:
•
Check that the port is enabled (Configuration > Port > Settings).
•
Check that the IP address of the interface is still valid.
•
Check that the cables are connected and functioning correctly.
■
If you are using RIP, check the RIP configuration (Configuration > Internet
Protocol > RIP) as follows:
•
Check that the RIP neighbour can reach the router, by pinging the
router from the RIP neighbour.
•
Check that password and authentication settings are configured on the
neighbour as well as on this router.
■
Check that the router is passing the correct DNS information to hosts on
the LAN if the router is a DHCP server. If the router is also acting as a
DHCP client, and therefore passing DNS information from another DHCP
server, check that this DHCP server is providing the router with the correct
information.
