Network Services

Several standard network services can be enabled or disabled via the easily accessible Network Services Panel under MANAGEMENT > Network Setup:

The Network Services panel has ON/OFF toggle switches for the following daemons and features:

• Daytime Protocol, RFC-867: A standard Internet service, featuring an ASCII daytime representation, often used for diagnostic purposes.
• Time Protocol, RFC-868: This protocol is used to provide a machine-readable, site-independent date and time.
• Telnet: Remote configuration
• FTP server: Access to logs
• SSH: Secure Shell cryptographic network protocol for secure data communication
• HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol
• tcpdump: A LINUX program that can be used to monitor network traffic by inspecting tcp packets. Default = ON.
  If not needed, or wanted (out of concern for potential security risks), tcpdump can be disabled permanently: Once toggled to OFF, and after executing a page reload, tcpdump will be deleted from the system: The toggle switch will be removed, and the function cannot be enabled again (even after a software upgrade).
