Remote Administration And Static Nat - Verizon FiOS-G1100 Quantum User Manual

REMOTE ADMINISTRATION
AND STATIC NAT
You can allow incoming access to the following:
Web Management - used to obtain access to your Gateway's GUI
•
and gain access to all settings and parameters through a web
browser.
Diagnostic Tools - used for troubleshooting and remote system
•
management by a user or Verizon.
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
your Gateway from the local network. Remote administration access
to SSH or Web Management services should be activated only when
absolutely necessary.
Note:
Encrypted remote administration is performed using a secure SSL
connection and requires a SSL certificate. When accessing your Gateway for
the first time using encrypted remote administration, a warning page opens
with a certificate authentication message displayed. This is due to your
Gateway SSL certificate being self-generated. When this message display
under that circumstance, ignore the message and continue. Even though this
message displays, the self-generated certificate is safe and provides a secure
SSL connection.
To enable remote administration:
Select Remote Administration.
