1.1
General Knowledge on Setting Up CNM Server
In this part, we will depict how to install and activate CNM server, and the deployment of the CNM server and VRPT servers in your real network environments.
1.1.1 Server Configuration
1.1.1.1 CNM Server Installation
If you already have a CNM server with old version installed, please refer to Upgrade (Migration) From Existing CNM Installation. If you haven’t got a CNM server installed yet, please refer to Installing A New CNM Server.
1.1.1.1.1.1 From CNM 2.3
We can upgrade the CNM server to version 3.0 directly from 2.3 FCS (2.3.00.61.00) or 2.3 patch 1(2.3.00.61.01).
The upgrade can be performed by running the “Vantage CNM 3.0.00.61.00.exe” directly to do the upgrade.
1. If you have existed CNM running, please shut it down first.
2. Please make sure the ports 1864, 11864, 8080, 443, 3306, 3305 in your system are not occupied.
3. Please make sure the available space in the disk with pervious CNM installation is more than 600MB.
4. Then run the install package “Vantage CNM 3.0.00.61.00.exe” to do the migration. 5. The installation will check the migration condition to make sure everything is available.
7. The program will install CNM 3.0 first.
8. The program will check whether www.myZyXEL.com is reachable for CNM license migration.
The migration will start after checking successfully. There will be a migration warning window pop out.
You will see command prompt windows during migration. Just simply allow it to execute and it will close automatically.
9. If migrate successfully from CNM 2.3, you will be asked to restart your computer.
10. If the migration failed, there will be a warning message. You can read the upgrade log in directory “upgradeLog” in your primary hard drive disk, upgrade utility will automatically do the rollback for all changes so pervious version won’t be affected
1.1.1.1.1.2 From CNM 2.2 or below
If you are using Vantage CNM 2.2 version, you need to upgrade your CNM to 2.3 version, 2.3.00.61.00. The upgrade step is:
For detail upgrade procedure, please reference to the Upgrade Notes in CNM 2.3 release package.
If you are not sure about the version of your Vantage CNM, please go to System>>About. Since the upgrade process from version 2.2 is complicated, we recommend customer to uninstall the existed version before installing CNM version 3.0. For the brand-new installation, please refer to steps below.
1.1.1.1.2
Installing A New CNM Server
1. Run Vantage CNM 3.0 (3.0.00.61.00.exe) on the server which is for CNM
2. If server is running windows XP SP2 or 2003, make sure UDP1864, 11864 & TCP8080, 443 is allowed by Firewall
3. If the CNM Server is placed behind a NAT Firewall router, Configure NAT and Firewall: a. Forward UDP 1864 & 11864 to CNM Server (Devices to CNM server by SGMP) b. Forward TCP 8080, 443 to CNM Server (Devices to CNM server by TR-069 &
CNM client to CNM server)
4. Check if the Server is running and port (UDP 1864, UDP 11864, TCP 8080, TCP443) is opening thru “netstat –an”
5. If installation failed, check “X:\Program Files\ZyXEL\CNM \logs\vantage.log”
1.1.1.2 VRPT Server Installation
1. Run Vantage Report for CNM on the server which is set for VRPT
2. If server is running windows XP SP2 or 2003, make sure UDP514 & TCP8088 is allowed by Firewall
3. If the VRPT Server is placed behind a NAT Firewall router, config NAT and Firewall: a. Forward UDP 514 to VRPT Server (devices send syslog to the VRPT) b. Forward TCP 8088 to VRPT Server (management between CNM to VRPT)
4. Check if the Server is running and port (UDP 514, TCP 8088) is opening thru “netstat –an” 5. If installation failed, check “X:\Program Files\ZyXEL\Vantage Report for
CNM\vrpt\log\utput.log”
CNM has to be activated in myzyxel.com using licence key. Please refer to the steps below.
1.1.1.3 CNM Activation
a. Open browser to connect to CNM: http://<CNM Server IP>:8080 or https:// <CNM Server IP> (on CNM)

be allowed if Firewall is enabled on Server (e.g. XP, W2003) Managed Device VRPT Instance 2 VRPT Instance 1 VRPT_2 VRPT_1 Public IP VRPT_2 Public IP 1. On the NAT/Firewall, same public IP can be used as the public IP of CNM & VRPT Server. Forward Port 1864(UDP), 11864 (UDP), 8080 (TCP), 443 (TCP) to CNM Server and forward 514 (UDP) and 8088 (TCP) to VRPT Server
2. For ZyNOS-based ZyWALL using as the NAT gateway, please check if the command “ip nat loopback” is enabled. Please refer to 1.1.2.1 Single Server for CNM & VRPT.
3. If firewall is enabled on the server, Allow 1864(UDP), 11864 (UDP), 8080 (TCP), 443 (TCP) on CNM Server and allow 514 (UDP) and 8088 (TCP) on VRPT Server
4. Configure the public IP that mapped to VRPT in CNM System>Configuration>VRPT Management of CNM
Note: Full feature NAT must be used to make more than 1 VRPT server visible to all devices on the internet (as port that used for receiving logs is fixed), which means different Public IP address has to be mapped to different VRPT server. But 1 VRPT could share the same Public IP address with CNM.
Here’s a configuration example: IP Assignment
VRPT Server 1 192.168.1.2
VRPT Server 2 192.168.1.34
Public IP of NAT Router 172.25.27.18, 172.25.27.66
Full-feature NAT setting
Source IP address NAT Type Public IP address
192.168.1.2 One-to-one 172.25.27.18
192.168.1.3-192.168.1.254 Many-to-one 172.25.27.66
Step1. Make sure the ports of 1864, 11864, 8088, 514, 443, 8080 and 21 are allowed in the WAN-to-LAN rule of the firewall setting.
Step2. Go to Advanced>NAT>NATOverview, choose the Full-feature and configure the Address Mapping.
Step4. Configure the Many-To-One rule.
Step6. Configure the port forwarding, forward the port 8080, 443, 1864, 11864 and 21 to the 192.168.1.33, and forward port 514 and 8088 to 192.168.1.34. (For One-To-One mapping of VRPT (192.168.1.2), no port forwarding is needed).
Step7, add the two VRPT servers IP to the CNM, and then check its status.
1.2 A Scenario for CNM Application
In the following application note, we will introduce how to use Vantage to conduct UTM, VPN Management and device maintenance over multiple ZyXEL appliances in MSP (Managed Service Provider) environment.
We will also introduce how to use the report function of CNM.
We assume customer reading this chapter has already done basic setups including: Vantage CNM Server and FTP server setup and activation onWindows Operating System and also connection between Vantage server and FTP server is ok.
Customers, who have not finished the preceding operations yet, please refer to detailed steps in Quick Start Guide of Vantage CNM 3.0.
Jim is a principal of company M, a local MSP (Managed Services Provider). He always receives many requests from small & medium- sized companies in the hope that M company would help them find a reliable and cost effective solution to maintain their network. Here comes Company A and Company B.
Company A is a medium-sized company with 300 employees. There are N branches all over the country. Almost 80 percents of Company A’s employees need to use the Internet in daily work. They would like to use UTM function to protect their network and want to maintain the devices centrally. They also need a report about the UTM and the Internet usage of the company. Besides, in order to transmit secret information among the HQ and three branch offices securely, they also want a convenient way to build VPN tunnels among these offices and monitor all the VPN tunnels.
Company B is a small-sized company with three branches. The security gateway of Branch Office 1 and Branch Office 2 have static public IP address and Branch Office 3’s security gateway get dynamic IP address via DSL connection. They want to share their resources and information among HQ and branches without compromising their security. By deploying the ZyWALL’s VPN feature they can be confident that only trusted users could access the company’s network. They would like a report for their bandwidth management, security status and Internet usage as well.
Company M’s solution for Company A and Company B with ZyXEL appliances and Vantage CNM:
UTM Management
1. Centralized License Management 2. Policy Enforcement
3. UTM Report
4. Active Monitoring and Alerting
VPN Management
1.Security VPN tunnel establishment 2.VPN tunnel installation report 3.VPN Tunnel Status
Device Maintenance
1. Firmware management and upgrade 2. ROM file backup and restore
Monitor, Alerting & Reporting
1. Device alarm, alert and notify
2. Monitor the Internet usage and security status via device report
The following picture shows the network for M’s solution.
The companies are connected to the Internet with static Public IPs, except Brach Office 3 of Company B, which gets dynamic public IP via DSL connection. Company A uses a ZyWALL USG 1000 in HQ, and uses ZyNOS ZyWALL in the branch offices as the firewall to protect the company network. There’s an NAT router in front of the ZyWALL 2 Plus in Branch 3. Company B uses a ZyWALL USG 300 in HQ, and ZyNOS ZyWALL in the branches as firewall to protect the company work.
The following diagram depicts the network environment & IP address assignments of this example.

1.2.1.3.1
For ZyNOS Devices
Vantage CNM is disabled on the device by default. There are two ways to enable Vantage function on ZyNOS Devices.
1. SMT menus
Please telnet to ZyXEL devices and go to SMT menu 24.8, then issue the following commands.
172.25.27.18 is Vantage Server's IP address. 2. WEB GUI Configuration
Login to the GUI interface of ZyXEL devices and go to ADVANCED>REMOTE MGMT in the navigation panel and then click CNM tab to configure your device’s Vantage CNM settings.
In Registration Status field, it displays Registering when the ZyXEL device first connects with the Vantage server and then Registered after it has been successfully registered with the Vantage server. Last Registration Time displays the last date and time that the ZyXEL device registered with the Vantage server. Enter the Vantage server’s IP to Vantage CNM Server Address field, select Enable check box, and click Apply to enable Vantage function.
1.2.1.3.2
For ZLD Devices
Vantage CNM is disabled by default on the device by default. There’re two ways to enable Vantage function on ZLD devices.
Please telnet to your device. After the sign behind Router is changed from “>” to “#”, please issue the following CI command.
2. Web GUI Configuration
Login your device’s web GUI, and go to System>Vantage CNM, check the Enable box, and enter the CNM server’s IP address.
When the device is registering to the CNM server, a lightening bolt will show on the device and the folder in which the device belongs to.
1.2.2 Account Management (UAM)
From CNM 3.0, a new feature UAM (User Account Management) is added. It provides flexibility to define different user groups with different privileges, including CNM server
operations and folder/device access privileges. The accounts in a specific group inherit all the privileges in that group.
A group is a group of accounts who share exactly the same privileges for the CNM operation. An account is a specific administrator. It must be in a specific group, and inherits all the privileges in that group.
Note 1: There’s a default group super, which can manage the whole Vantage operations and with the privilege to access all the registered devices for monitoring and configuring all their functions. And there’s a default account root in this group. Both the group super and account root cannot be deleted.
Note 2: Since CNM 3.0 UAM (User Account Management) is a completely new feature, if user upgraded his CNM server from version 2.3, the old accounts in CNM 2.3 will be migrated to CNM 3.0 as the following:
The “root” account will be in “super” group in CNM 3.0 after migration.
For all other accounts in CNM 2.3, the migration will create a special group called “custom” in CNM 3.0. Those accounts will be migrated to this “custom” group in CNM 3.0.
This “custom” group has minimum priority. It only has the priority to navigate the
configuration but cannot change anything. That means the original accounts’ information will be lost and administrator “root” needs to reconfigure these old accounts migrated from CNM 2.3.
The following steps depict how to set user accounts for administrators of Company A and Company B.
1. Create a user group for the administrator of Company A, with the privilege to be only able to access the folder Company_A.
a. Go to Account Management>Group, and click Add button.
b. Give the group name A-admin. Click the Associate button to let out the popup window, and choose only the folder Company_A. Give full privileges of all the devices in this folder. Click Apply button.
2. Create an account John in the group A-admin.
a. Go to Account Management>Account, and click Add button.
b. Give the account name John and password, and input the user’s mail address. Choose A-admin as the Administrator Group. Click Apply button. 3. Create a user group for the administrator of Company B, with the privilege to be only able to access the folder Company_B.
a. Go to Account Management>Group, and click Add button.
b. Give the group name B-admin. Click the Associate button to let out the popup window, and choose only the folder Company_B. Give full privileges of all the devices in this folder. Click Apply button.
4. Create an account Tom in the group B-admin.
a. Go to Account Management>Account, and click Add button.
b. Give the account name Tom and password, and input the user’s mail address. Choose B-admin as the Administrator Group. Click Apply button.
After you complete, you should get administrators list like this

1.2.4 VPN Management
As for the detailed information about the whole scenario, please refer to 1.2 A Scenario for CNM Application.
Company A is a medium-sized company with 300 employees. There are N branches all over the country. Three branch offices and the HQ office want to transmit secret information among them securely, they want a convenient way to build and monitor VPN tunnels.
Company B is also a medium-sized company with three branches. The security gateway of Branch Office 1 and Branch Office 2 have static public IP address and Branch Office 3’s security gateway get dynamic IP address via DSL connection. They want to share their resources and information among HQ and branches without compromising their security.
From CNM version 3.0, we began to implement VPN Community, which is a more
comprehensive and flexible function to build VPN tunnels. VPN Community, as its name suggests, is a group of security gateways among which VPN tunnels are built. According to how the VPN tunnels are deployed, there’re three kinds of VPN communities, Full Mesh, Hub & Spoke, and Remote Access.
1.2.4.1 Building VPN Community
The following shows the steps to build the Full Mesh, Hub & Spoke, and Remote Access VPN communities correspondently.
1.2.4.1.1
Building a Full-Mesh VPN Community
Administrator John for Company A can use the CNM’s VPN Management function to build a Full-Mesh VPN community, in which all the security gateways will build VPN tunnels with each other.
Step 1.Go to VPN Management>VPN Community, Click the Add button , a configuration page will show.
Step 2. Input a community name, and choose Full Mesh in the Community Type dropdown list.
Step 3. In the Member Gateways section, click Add button , a pop up window will show. Select the VPN gateways for this VPN community.
Step 4. We should notice that there’s an NAT router in front of Branch Office 3’s security gateway ZyWALL 2 Plus. Then we must modify this gateway’s public IP address. Click Edit button
behind the record of A_BR3_ZW2Plus.
A pop up window will show the details of this security gateway’s VPN settings. Check the box Behind NAT, and modify the Public IP Address to the NAT router’s WAN IP address, and input the ZyWALL 2 Plus’s WAN IP address in the My IP field.
And also important is that we should modify the Local ID Content as the WAN IP of the NAT router.
Step 5. We also should notice that the local LAN subnet of A_HQ_USG1000 overlaps with the local LAN subnet of A_BR3_ZW2Plus. To avoid this overlapping, we can employ the function NAT over IPsec.
Click Edit button in the rear end of the record of A_BR3_ZW2Plus. In the pop up configuration window, under the Virtual Address Mapping Rule section, check the box Active, and choose the Mapping Type as Many One to One. Specify the Private Starting/Ending IP Address, and the Vitual Starting/Ending IP Address.
After the configuration, we will get a view of the Member Gateways as the following.
NOTE: NAT over IPsec in CNM 3.0 is only available for ZyWALL 2 Plus with f/w 4.01 and above, ZyWALL 5, 35, 70 with f/w 4.03 and above. This feature is not available now for ZLD devices.
Step 6. We can modify the security parameters in IPsec phase 1 and phase 2 according to special requirements. And finally press Apply.
After finishing the configuration for the Hub & Spoke community, we can go to the Installation Report section to check whether the VPN settings are sent to the gateways
successfully. And we can also go to the VPN Monitor section to check the VPN tunnel status. For detailed explanations, please go to 1.2.4.2 VPN Installation Report and 1.2.4.3 VPN Monitoring.
After all the tunnels are up from the VPN Monitor, we can check the same scene in the WEB GUI as following.
1.2.4.1.2
Building a Hub & Spoke VPN Community
Administrator Tom for Company B can use the CNM’s VPN Management function to build a Hub & Spoke VPN community, in which the HQ security gateway will act as the Hub gateway, and the security gateways of Branch Office 1 and Branch Office 2 will act as Spoke gateways.
The picture below shows a logical scenario for the Hub & Spoke VPN community of Company B.
Step 1.Go to VPN Management>VPN Community, Click the Add button , a configuration page will show.
Step 2. Input a community name, and choose Hub & Spoke in the Community Type dropdown list. Since Company B also wants to share internal resources among all its branch offices, Tom should enable inter-routing between spokes.
Step 3. In the Hub Gateway section, click Add button , a pop up window will show. Select the B_HQ_USG300 as the hub gateway of this VPN community.
Step 4. In the Spoke Gateways section, click Add button , a pop up window will show. Select B_BR1_ZW5 and B_BR2_ZW70 as the spoke gateways of this VPN community.
Step 5. Please note that if we enabled inter-routing between spokes, we should make sure the hub gateway’s network policy overlap the networks of all the spoke gateways. If not yet, we should click the Edit button in the rear end of the hub gateway’s record.
A pop up window will show the details of this security gateway’s VPN settings. Please change the Local Network address to a subnet that can cover all the networks of the spoke
gateways. In this example, we change it to 192.168.0.0, with subnet mask as 255.255.0.0.
After the configuration, we will get a view of this VPN community’s gateways as the following.
Step 5. We can modify the security parameters in IPsec phase 1 and phase 2 according to special requirements. And finally press Apply.
After finishing the configuration for the Hub & Spoke community, we can go to the Installation Report section to check whether the VPN settings are sent to the gateways
successfully. And we can also go to the VPN Monitor section to check the VPN tunnel status. For detailed explanations, please go to 1.2.4.2 VPN Installation Report and 1.2.4.3 VPN Monitoring.
After all the tunnels are up from the VPN Monitor, we can check the same scene in the WEB GUI as following.
1.2.4.1.3
Building a Remote Access VPN Community
1.2.4.1.3.1 For Site-to-Site with Dynamic IP CaseFor the Branch Office 3, since its gateway gets its WAN IP address dynamically, Tom can build a Remote Access VPN community between the HQ office and Branch Office 3.
The picture below shows a logical scenario for the Remote Access VPN community of Company B.
Step 1.Go to VPN Management>VPN Community, Click the Add button , a configuration page will show.
Step 2. Input a community name, and choose Remote Access in the Community Type dropdown list.
Step 3. In the Central Gateway section, click Add button , a pop up window will show. Select the B_HQ_USG300 as the central gateway of this VPN community.
Step 4. In the Satellite Gateways section, click Add button , a pop up window will show. Select B_BR3_ZW35 as the satellite gateway of this VPN community.
After the configuration, we will get a view of this VPN community’s gateways as the following.
Step 5. We can modify the security parameters in IPsec phase 1 and phase 2 according to special requirements. And finally press Apply.
After finishing the configuration for the Hub & Spoke community, we can go to the Installation Report section to check whether the VPN settings are sent to the gateways
successfully. And we can also go to the VPN Monitor section to check the VPN tunnel status. For detailed explanations, please go to 1.2.4.2 VPN Installation Report and 1.2.4.3 VPN Monitoring.
After all the tunnels are up from the VPN Monitor, we can check the same scene in the WEB GUI as following.
1.2.4.1.3.2 For Mobile User‟s Case
There are many mobile workers in Company B, such as sales on their business trip. They also need to share the resources in HQ securely. By taking a handy secure gateway such as ZyWALL P1 or using VPN software client, they can build dynamic VPN tunnels to the HQ’s gateway.
Then do we need to add a new VPN rule on the HQ’s gateway B_HQ_USG300? Since there’s already a Remote Access VPN community built in this case, we can use the existing dynamic VPN rule in the Central Gateway of this Remote Access VPN community.
And on the VPN clients’ side, since ZyWALL P1 and VPN software can’t be managed by CNM 3.0, the mobile workers need to manually build VPN tunnels to the HQ gateway.
The following steps details how to build dynamic VPN tunnels for the mobile users.
Step 1. Please go to VPN Management>VPN Community, and click the Edit button in the rear end of the Remote Access Community of Company B.
Record the Central Gateway’s VPN parameters, including the central gateway’s gateway IP, local network, Pre-shared key, and the security parameters of phase 1 and phase 2.
Step 2. On the mobile worker’s side, build a VPN tunnel to the central gateway. We will take ZyWALL IPsec VPN Client as an example.
Please make sure the Remote Gateway IP address, Remote LAN address and the phase 1 and phase 2 security parameters are consistent with the central gateway’s settings.
Step 3. After the tunnel is established, we can check the status in the VPN client’s SA monitor and the central gateway’s SA monitor. Or we can go to 1.2.4.3 VPN Monitoring to check the tunnel status in SA Monitor.
1.2.4.2 VPN Installation Report
After configuring the VPN community is finished, let’s go to the Installation Report to check if the configurations in the community are sent to the gateways successfully.
We can click on the Show Detail button to check the detail installation status for each gateway.
Note:Successful means the VPN configurations are sent to the corresponding gateways successfully. To be created means the VPN configurations are not yet sent to the gateways. The info in this section doesn’t represent whether the VPN tunnels are built successfully. To check if the tunnels are established, please go to VPN Monitor.
1.2.4.3 VPN Monitoring
After we make sure the VPN configurations are sent to the devices successfully by checking the VPN Installation Report, we can go to VPN Monitor to check if the tunnels can establish successfully. Let’s still take the Full Mesh VPN community in Company A as an example.
We can check the tunnels’ status either by VPN Community or by Device.
1.2.4.3.1
By Community
We can click the Show Detail icon to show the details of each tunnel in this community.
When the Status icon shows blue, it means the tunnel is up, if the icon is grey, it means the tunnel is down.
Note: Since CNM 3.0 will not calculate the dynamic VPN tunnels, in VPN Monitor>By Community for Remote Accesscommunities, the number of Up Tunnels and Total Tunnels will show as *.
1.2.4.3.2
By Device
In VPN Monitor>By Device, the page will show all the status of the secure gateways that have built VPN tunnels.
Note: Since CNM 3.0 will not calculate the dynamic VPN tunnels, in VPN Monitor>By Device>VPN Tunnel Status, the up dynamic VPN tunnels can’t be added to the number of the Up Tunnels.
If we want to check the up dynamic VPN tunnels or check the up tunnels’ VPN policies, we need to go to By Device>SA Monitor.
Note: SA Monitor only supports ZLD devices and ZyNOS devices with firmware version 4.30 or above.
Click Show Detail icon, all the established VPN tunnels to the central gateway will be shown, including the dynamic VPN tunnels. If the Remote Gateway is shown as N/A, it means it’s a dynamic tunnel.
1.2.4.4 VPN Diagnostic
If one tunnel is down, the Diagnostic icon will show on the rear end of this tunnel. We can click this icon; a pop up window will show to allow us to dial this tunnel manually. When we press the dial button, a pop up window will show the all the IKE logs, which will give us basic info to judge the incorrect settings.
Note: The manual dial function is only available for ZyNOS ZyWALL with f/w version 4.03 or above and ZLD with f/w version 2.01 or above.
1.2.5 UTM Management
First please Note that the UTM management on CNM 3.0 is only available to ZyNOS devices. CNM 3.0 doesn’t support the UTM services for ZLD devices yet.
As for the detailed information about the whole scenario, please refer to1.2 A Scenario for CNM Application.
Company A is a medium-sized company with 300 employees. There are N branches all over the country. Almost 80 percents of A Company’s employees need to use the Internet in daily work. They would like to use UTM function to protect their network and want to maintain the devices centrally. They also need a report about the UTM and the Internet usage of the company.
