    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. 

    • Here is the guide on how to Enable AD SSO for single domain environment. Don’t forget on the AD Server to open port 6677 UDP for the Cyberoam to talk to the software.

    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.

    Step 1 - Enable WWAN

    1. Unplug any 3G/4G modem from the Cyberoam

    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.

    We run "lsusb" to get the device information. 

    [root@server peers]# lsusb
