SNMP Agent - Community Name 

This setting is to set the community name for the SNMP agent.
System Logging - Local / Remote Logging

This setting is to enable/disable system logging. Once enabled, Local (Default) or Remote Logging can be selected. If Local logging is enabled, then all the logs will be maintained locally. Independently, depending on the application, logging can be enabled by using 'Configure Logging' feature. This is applicable to both Local and Remote Logging. Here if logging is to be enabled for particular application(s), then select the application(s) available in the 'Disabled Logs' list and click on Add button. The logging enabled application(s) will be seen in the 'Enabled Logs' list. Similarly if logging is to be disabled for particular application(s), then select the application(s) available in the 'Enabled Logs' list and click on Delete button. The logging disabled application(s) will be seen in the 'Disabled Logs' list. If Remote Logging is selected, then specifying 'Remote Syslog Host IP Address' is mandatory to which all the log messages from the RouteFinder will be forwarded. On the remote host, syslog should be invoked with the "-r" option to enable the host to receive log messages from other machines.

Note: i. IPSec and IKE Debugging will be disabled automatically when number of enabled connections are more than 5, but still user configuration persists.
          ii. Logging / Debugging will slow down the performance of the machine.
System Time

The selection is provided to set the system time and the time zone. The timezone is selected from the list of timezones provided. The year, month, hour and minute are selected accordingly. The "save" button is clicked to commit changes to the system time. The selected date should match the corresponding month and year. i.e. if the date selected is 29, month is February and the year is 2001, the time will not be saved because for the year 2001, February has 28 days.
