Cisco ISA500 Series Integrated Security Appliance Administrator Guide
To access the Device Management pages, click Device Management in the left
hand navigation pane.
You can access the Configuration Utility from the LAN side by using the security
appliance's LAN IP address and HTTP, or from the WAN side by using the security
appliance's WAN IP address and HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) or HTTP.
Use the Remote Management page to configure the remote management settings
so that you can access the Configuration Utility from a remote WAN network. The
security appliance allows remote management securely by using HTTPS or HTTP,
i.e. https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080.
IMPORTANT: When you enable the remote management, the security appliance
is accessible to anyone who knows its IP address. Since a malicious WAN user
can reconfigure the security appliance and misuse it in many ways, we highly
recommend that you change the user name and password of the default
administrator account (cisco) before continuing.
Click Device Management -> Remote Management.
The Remote Management window opens.
Enter the following information:
• Remote Management: Click On to enable remote management by using
HTTPS, or click Off to disable it. We recommend that you use HTTPS for
