Port Renumbering Settings

If you use NAT pinholes to for ward HTTP or telnet traffic through your Motorola Netopia® Gateway to an
internal host, you must change the por t numbers the Motorola Netopia® Gateway uses for its own configu-
ration traffic. For example, if you set up a NAT pinhole to for ward network traffic on Por t 80 (HTTP) to
another host, you would have to tell the Motorola Netopia® Gateway to listen for configuration connection
requests on a por t number other than 80, such as 6080.

After you have changed the por t numbers the Motorola Netopia® Gateway uses for its configuration traffic,
you must use those por t numbers instead of the standard numbers when configuring the Motorola Neto-
pia® Gateway. For example, if you move the router's Web ser vice to por t “6080” on a box with a system
(DNS) name of “superbox”, you would enter the URL

http://superbox:6080 in a Web browser to open the

Motorola Netopia® Gateway graphical user inter face. Similarly, you would have to configure your telnet
application to use the appropriate por t when opening a configuration connection to your Motorola Netopia®
Gateway.

set servers web-http [ 1 - 65534 ]

Specifies the por t number for HTTP (web) communication with the Motorola Netopia® Gateway. Because
por t numbers in the range 0-1024 are used by other protocols, you should use numbers in the range 1025-
65534 when assigning new por t numbers to the Motorola Netopia® Gateway web configuration inter face. A
setting of

0 (zero) will turn the server off.

set servers telnet-tcp [ 1 - 65534 ]

Specifies the por t number for telnet (CLI) communication with the Motorola Netopia® Gateway. Because
por t numbers in the range 0-1024 are used by other protocols, you should use numbers in the range 1025-
65534 when assigning new por t numbers to the Motorola Netopia® Gateway telnet configuration inter face.
A setting of

0 (zero) will turn the server off.

NOTE:

You cannot specify a por t setting of

0 (zero) for both the web and telnet ports at the same

time. This would prevent you from accessing the Gateway.
