Enabling Cyberoam Reporting

Here are a few tips on how to enable and tune reporting for a Cyberoam UTM.

Enabling AD SSO authentication:

By integrating with Active Directory and other directory structures you can bring life to reports and present to your customers reports that are meaningful to them.
Every module in the Cyberoam integrates with Identity/Users. 

Cyberoam 3G/4G setup - 10.4.x and newer

The latest Cyberoam firmwares 10.4.x and newer have simplied the 3G/4G setups.

 

Tips:
- disable the sim pin for testing, until its all working

- test the modem in a PC first

- Is the Cyberoam in a backroom, sometimes reception can be an issue.

- most 'apn' settings are stored in the modem, so you can usually leave that blank.

 

The Cyberoam UTM can support USB modems as a backup or primary connection. Here's how to get it working.

Commissioning a new Internet connection or troubleshooting ISP issues is never a smooth process. 

There can be issues with:

  • authentication
  • padi discovery
  • pado response
  • bridge modem issues
  • adsl sync issues
  • port speed
  • full/half duplex issues


Fortunately logs within the Cyberoam UTM can help here. They can accessed via the CLI.
