| <title>Virtual Router</title> |
| <para>The virtual router is a type of System Virtual Machine. The virtual router is one of the |
| most frequently used service providers in &PRODUCT;. The end user has no direct access to the |
| virtual router. Users can ping the virtual router and take actions that affect it (such as |
| setting up port forwarding), but users do not have SSH access into the virtual router.</para> |
| <para>There is no mechanism for the administrator to log in to the virtual router. Virtual routers |
| can be restarted by administrators, but this will interrupt public network access and other |
| services for end users. A basic test in debugging networking issues is to attempt to ping the |
| virtual router from a guest VM. Some of the characteristics of the virtual router are determined |
| by its associated system service offering.</para> |
