Netgear FVS318v3 – Cable/DSL ProSafe VPN Firewall with 8-Port Switch Reference Manual

Maintenance

6-5

The Attached Devices menu contains a table of all IP devices that the firewall has discovered on 
the local network. From the main menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, 
select Attached Devices to view the table, shown below.

For each device, the table shows the IP address, NetBIOS Host Name (if available), and Ethernet 
MAC address. Note that if the firewall is rebooted, the table data is lost until the firewall 
rediscovers the devices. To force the firewall to look for attached devices, click the Refresh 
button.

The routing software of the VPN firewall is stored in FLASH memory, and can be upgraded as 
new software is released by NETGEAR. Upgrade files can be downloaded from NETGEAR's Web 
site. If the upgrade file is compressed (.ZIP file), you must first extract the binary (.BIN) file 
before sending it to the firewall. The upgrade file can be sent to the firewall using your browser. 

Note: The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the VPN firewall must support HTTP 
uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 5.0 or 
above. 

Note: The FVS318v3 firmware is not backward compatible with earlier versions of the 

FVS318 firewall.
