Reference, including:
■ How to use the User Authentication Facility, RADIUS or TACACs for
authenticating users who log on to the router, and ensuring that only
authorised login accounts are used.

onto the router, and the HTTP Server.

■ How to use FLASH compaction to regain storage space on the router. Read
“Warning about FLASH memory” on page 12 before you attempt to do this.

features remotely via Telnet.
See other chapters in the AR400 Series Router Software Reference for more
information on how to:
■ Use the logging facility to monitor network activity and to select and
display the results (see the Logging Facility chapter).

Management Protocol (SNMP) chapter and Appendix C: SNMP MIBs).

(see the Scripting chapter).
■ Set up triggers to automatically run specified scripts at specified times, or
at specified events (see the Trigger Facility chapter).
■ Use NTP to synchronise your router’s time clock with those of other
network devices (see the Network Time Protocol (NTP) chapter).
■ Use software to test whether the router’s hardware functions correctly (see
the Test Facility chapter).
