Netgear FVS318v2 – Cable/DSL ProSafe VPN Firewall with 8-Port Switch Manual De Referencia

Managing Your Network

7-11

It is sometimes desirable to restore the firewall to the factory default settings. This can be done by 
using the Erase function. 

1.

To erase the configuration, from the Maintenance menu Settings Backup link, click the Erase 
button on the screen.

2.

The firewall will then reboot automatically.

After an erase, the firewall's password will be password, the LAN IP address will be 
192.168.0.1, and the router's DHCP client will be enabled.

To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the login password or 

IP address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the firewall. See 

The FVS318 VPN Firewall has a diagnostics feature. You can use the diagnostics menu to perform 
the following functions from the firewall:

•

Ping an IP Address to test connectivity to see if you can reach a remote host.

•

Perform a DNS Lookup to test if an Internet name resolves to an IP address to verify that the 
DNS server configuration is working.

•

Display the Routing Table to identify what other routers the router is communicating with.

•

Trace the Routing Path to identify any connectivity or congestion problems in the network.

•

Reboot the Router to enable new network configurations to take effect or to clear problems 
with the router’s network connection.
