MH-5001 User Manual
5.1 Demands
Administrators may want to manage the MH-5001 remotely from any PC in LAN_1 with HTTP at port 8080, and from WAN_PC
with TELNET. In addition, the MH-5001 may be more secure if monitored by a trusted host (PC1_1). What is more, the MH-5001
should not respond to ping to hide itself. The remote management function in MH-5001 devices is implemented by hidden Firewall
rules.
5.2 Methods
1. Only allow management by WAN_PC (140.2.5.1) at the WAN1 side.
2. Administrators can use browsers to connect to http://192.168.40.254:8080 for management.
3. Allow SNMP monitoring by PC1_1 (192.168.40.1) at the LAN1 side.
4. Do not respond to ICMP ECHO packets at the WAN1 side.
5.3

Remote Management Access Methods

Configuring management access for an interface connected to the Internet allows remote administration of the MH-5001 unit from
any location on the Internet. Allowing management access from the Internet could compromise the security of your MH-5001 unit.
This chapter introduces remote management and explains how to implement it.
