Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall 25 with 4 Gigabit LAN and Dual WAN Ports Enabling Remote Management Access Using the Remote Management page, you can allow an administrator on the Internet to configure, upgrade, and check the status of your FVS124G VPN Firewall. You must be logged in locally to enable remote management (see "Step 2: Log in to the VPN Firewall (Required)" on page 4-7). Note: Be sure to change the firewall's default configuration password to a very secure password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters. See "Changing the Passwords and Login Timeout" on page 8-8 for the procedure on how to do this. Figure 8-2 shows the Remote Management screen that is invoked by clicking Remote Management under Management on the Main Menu bar. Figure 8-2: Remote Management screen To configure your firewall for Remote Management: 1. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box. 2. Specify what external addresses will be allowed to access the firewall's remote management. Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical.
