host name identifies the EdgeRouter as a specific device.
For example, a .com URL typically uses this format:
<host_name>
.domain_name.com
Time Zone
Use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
UTC is the
international time standard used by Network Time
Protocol (NTP) servers. If your routers are located in
multiple time zones, then you may want to use UTC.

Gateway
System gateway address
Enter the IP address of your
gateway. This will set up your default route. If you want to
set up additional default routes, configure them as static
routes on the
Routing
tab. See
“Routing Tab” on page

for more information.
Name Server
Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names to
IP addresses; each DNS server on the Internet holds these
mappings in its respective DNS database.
System name server
Enter the IP address of your DNS
server (example:
192.0.2.1
for IPv4 or
2001:db8::1
for IPv6).
Click
Add New
to add additional servers.
Domain Name
System domain name
Enter the domain name of your
EdgeRouter. The domain name identifies the EdgeRouter’s
network on the Internet. For example, a .com URL typically
uses this format:
host_name.
<domain_name>
.com
NTP
NTP is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer
systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data
networks. You can use it to set the system time on the
EdgeRouter. If the
System Log
option is enabled, then
the system time is reported next to every log entry that
registers a system event.
Automatically update system time using NTP
By
default, the EdgeRouter obtains the system time from a
time server on the Internet.
Click
Save
to apply your changes.
Management Settings
SSH Server
Enable
Enabled by default. This option allows SSH
(Secure Shell) access to the EdgeRouter for remote
configuration by command line. SSH uses encryption and
authentication, so it is a secure form of communication.
See
“Command Line Interface” on page 38
for more
information.
Port
Specify the TCP/IP port of the SSH server. The default
is
22
.
