• creating and editing files
• backing files up to the router’s Flash memory or to a PC or TFTP server
• restoring the router’s configuration from backup
• specifying which software and configuration files the router uses on
bootup, and displaying the currently-used files
• enabling software release and feature licences
• upgrading the router’s software
The Monitoring Menu
When you browse to the GUI, the sidebar menu opens to display the
monitoring menu, opened at the System > Hardware Details. From this menu,
you can also check:

• the IP route table
• information about the state of ping polling, including counters
• the log messages that the router automatically generates. You can also
set up filters to determine where messages are saved to and which
