If no reconnection is detected by cOS Core within 30 seconds (this length of time is a setting that
can be changed) then cOS Core will revert back to the original configuration. This is to ensure
that a new configuration does not accidentally lock out the administrator. After reconfiguration
and reconnection, a success message will be displayed.
Reconfiguration is a process that the cOS Core administrator may initiate often. Normally,
reconfiguration takes a brief amount of time and causes only a slight delay in traffic throughput.
Active user connections through the firewall should rarely be lost.
Tip: How frequently to commit configuration changes
It is up to the administrator how many changes to make before activating a new
configuration. Activating changes in small batches can be the best approach in order to
check that a small set of changes work as planned.
However, it is not advisable to leave changes uncommitted for long periods of time,
such as overnight, since any system outage will result in the pending changes being lost.
Automatic Logout
If there is no activity through the Web Interface for a period of time (the default is 15 minutes),
cOS Core will automatically log the user out. If they log back in through the same web browser
session then they will return to the point they were at before the logout occurred and no
pending changes are lost.
Setting Up Internet Access
Setting up public Internet access manually using the Web Interface will now be described. There
are four options which are listed below.
A. Static - manual configuration.
B. DHCP - automatic configuration.
C. PPPoE setup
D. PPTP setup
The steps to configure these Internet connection alternatives with the Web Interface are
discussed next.
Note that on the NetWall 100 Series, a DHCP client is enabled in the default configuration on the
WAN1 and WAN2 interfaces so that usually method B is used. The other methods are included
here in case they are needed.
A. Static - manual configuration
