The Zorp Management Server (ZMS) handles the configuration tasks of the entire solution. To access ZMS and modify the configuration of the firewalls, the Zorp Management Console (ZMC) application on the desktop can be used. ZMS is the central command center of the solution: it stores and manages the configuration of Zorp firewall hosts.

The real power of ZMS surfaces when more than one Zorp firewalls have to be administered: instead of configuring the different firewalls individually and manually, it is possible configure them at a central location with ZMS, and upload the configuration changes to the firewalls. As ZMS stores the configuration of every firewall, the configuration of the entire firewall system can be backed up. In case of an emergency, it is possible to restore the configuration of every firewall with a few clicks.
