Chapter 6 Configuring the Router’s Security
Web Management
Web Management is used to obtain access to the Router’s GUI and gain access to all
settings and parameters,using a web browser. Both secure (
HTTPS
) and non-secure
(
HTTP
) access is available. Select the port to be used by clicking in the appropriate
text box, then click Apply.
!
Note: Telnet and Web Management remote administration
access may be used to modify or disable firewall settings. Local
IP
addresses and other settings can also be changed, making it
difficult or impossible to access the Router from the local net-
work. Therefore, remote adminstration access to Telnet or Web
Management services should be activated only when
absolutely necessary.
Diagnostic Tools
Diagnostic Tools are used for troubleshooting and remote system management by a
user or the
ISP
.
!
Note: Encrypted remote administration is performed using a
secure
SSL
connection, and requires an
SSL
certificate. When
accessing the Router for the first time using encrypted remote
administration, a warning appears regarding certificate authenti-
cation because the Router’s
SSL
certificate is self-generated. When
encountering this message under these circumstances, ignore it
and continue. Even though this message appears, the self-gener-
ated certificate is safe, and provides a secure
SSL
connection.
