System settings
The system section contains settings that apply to the most basic operation of the
system, such as the host name, time zone, logging details, NTP server, language and
style.
The host name appears in the top left hand corner of the interface menu. It also appears
when you open a Telnet or SSH session.
Note
: this document shows no host name in screen grabs. Throughout the document we
use the host name ‘VA_router’.
The system configuration contains a logging section for the configuration of a Syslog
client.
