By simply logging into F-Rakunet, network administrators can easily and safely monitor router device status and traffic volume, manage device settings and firmware history, and make batch changes on the management screen. By visualizing interface status information, traffic volume, log list, resource information such as CPU/memory usage rate, etc., the advantage is that it is possible to determine equipment abnormalities at a glance. In addition, since it is possible to refer back to the past, it is possible to track the device status from the timing when the abnormality occurred. In addition, it is possible to manage the device settings and firmware change history, making it possible to input the same settings to multiple devices and batch input settings with some different parameters for each device. In addition, as a network service function, a function that supports the application of local breakout (LBO) policies to devices has also been prepared. The LBO policy for each SaaS provided by Furukawa Electric or the LBO policy created by the administrator can be selected and applied to the device. By using these functions to centrally manage and monitor the FITELnet routers located at each site, the burden on network administrators will be greatly reduced. The target network devices are FITELnet F70/F71/F220/F221 products. In the future, Furukawa Electric plans to extend the functionality so that other FITELnet series and other companies' network products can also be managed. In addition, a paid license "F Rakunet BASIC" (contract period of 1 to 5 years) is required for use. A trial license that can be used for 3 months is also available.
