Ok.
I am inside the cisco from my imac since my pc can't even bleeping boot. Been having pc problems with booting for months on this. GRRR. So I went to my new 21.5" 2010 imac and logged in fine. I'm not able to write in my notes on pc so I'll try to respond here best I can.
Wireless basic settings screen.
Help info here would be great as I mentioned. On right side of the page explaining what to do etc.
Click the tick box for wireless table. Unticked all ssid except the first one. Then finally can click the edit security mode button. So I go in there and don't know what's what so help in here is good too. On every screen for every feature/function and option. I want wpa2, but not sure if I do mixed or what. Some routers say enterprise and others say wpa or wpa2 etc. Sure with this was a standard that all were the same. I know enterprise is wpa2, just forget if I do mixed or not. I will say not mixed and see how it goes. Be right back..........
Ok on security settings basic settings it is at the screen where you put in radius server ip, shared key and the other options. Again, help on all screens is needed in my opinion. lol. So I'm going to input shared key only and leave the rest blank since all I'm doing is putting in password. Would be nice to have in here a box that says wpa2 password so we know what it is and where to put it in. Encryption says AES, but there's one other that I forget the na,e. I'm used to seeing both being used same time. Can't do anything for wpa security. It says value out of range for radius server. Don't use one, so huh?
Suggestion: For wifi security I'd think making it like other devices is a good thing. What I mean is terminology or the look and feel of this screen. For example for wpa security it'd be nice to have wpa2 instead of wpa enterprise or have both. wpa2 (enterprise) something like that. For security screen it should have a wpa2 password box that is what you use to log in. Ok my bad. WPA 2 personal is what I'd use. See, this got confusing to me. Typed in shared secret, should be password instead of shared secret. To me secret doesn't make any sense. Clicked save and it saved ok. Then took me back to the wireless basic settings screen.
A suggestion I have is that I keep doing what I'm doing, work on UI issues and bugs etc. However I have or may have some feature suggestions or whatever. So I'd like to give them, but don't want to be out of place or jump ahead too much.
Networking - LAN - Static DHCP
Should list all connected devices here allowing you to click make static to be easy to use. Makes it to hard for us to have to know the mac address and so on. Click make static allowing you to put in an ip and give it a name too. So when you look into the cisco UI you'll know the name you gave it.
DHCP Leased Clients - This is what I'm talking about being on the static dhcp screen. Also on this screen you should have a tick to add to static and be able to name it and for the cisco to automatically suggest what ip and allow you to change it if you want. Like a make static tick box that then changes to allow you to input ip and name it and click enable. A disable tick box is good to for quickly being able to disable, but not erase it. So if you wanna re enable it later. Just tick the box.
DMZ Host screen.
Would be nice if it listed all connected devices and allow you to just tick a box next to the name to set it for being in the dmz zone. Then an enable/disable button instead of an erase or delete button. To quickly enable and disable.
DDNS screen. Dynamic DNS. Should have dyndns.org as well.
Status - Dashboard screen.
Where it says uptime, it should be dynamic. It should be moving, not just a static time. I think this would be nice.
Resource Utilization
Should all be dynamic.
Status - Wireless Statistics
My input below is also for LAN stats as well. Anywhere that shows bytes used.
Where it says byte, I have suggestion.
Instead of just show numbers, add k, kb, mb, gb etc to the end of the number. So instead of 5,000 say 5k or something. Make it easy for admins to quickly see the stats. Also say above that, that kB is kilobyte, mB megabyte, gB gigabyte, tB terabyte. This also cleans up the screen so not so many numbers are all over and makes it look more clean. 500mb or 560k or 5gb or 567gb. Or 1tb, 1.4tb etc.
Feature suggestion for the bytes screen.
Email admin when you have reached a certain threshold. So when WAN has downloaded say 50gb in a month, send the admin an email. Or whatever number we use. Alow us to choose when to be notified. When x data has been downloaded in day, week or month, whatever we choose, email admin.
Could also throttle speed for WAN at certain threshold. So say, when x amount on WAN is downloaded, throttle connection to x speed. Like 4mb or whatever we choose. So when WAN downloads say 200gb in a month period throttle WAN to say x speed till the start of the next month. But allow us to choose when to be notified and to throttle to what speed.
Status - Connected devices:
Where it says static dhcp, allow us to tick a box to enable or disable on this screen as well. And to name it and choose what ip.
Also have on this screen amount of data used. How much each device uploaded and downloaded in above terms. 45gb down, 10gb up, things like that.
Port Statistics:
Same as above what I'm mentioned about showing data with gb, mb etc.
Could have wifi, lan, wan etc. So for lan it would show the entire consumption for entire lan to and from internet.
That's most of what I can think of and input on for now.
