Changing The Management Validation Timeout - D-Link NetDefendOS User Manual

Example 2.1. Changing the Management Validation Timeout
This example will change the validation timeout from its default value of 30 seconds to 60
seconds.
Command-Line Interface
gw-world:/> set Settings RemoteMgmtSettings NetconBiDirTimeout=60
Web Interface
1. Go to: System > Device > Remote Management > Advanced Settings
2. Set the following:
• Validation Timeout: 60
3. Click OK
An Alternative Method of Changing the Management Interface
An alternative method of changing the management interface, which avoids the 30 second delay
entirely, is as follows:
1. Login using the existing remote management interface, add a new Remote Management
object, then activate and commit the change.
2. Disconnect and then reconnect using the interface specified by the new Remote
Management object.
3. Delete the old Remote Management object and the activate and commit the change.
Changing the Management IP Address
The following example shows how the IPv4 address for access on the default management
interface can be changed. The new address must belong to the network allowed by the relevant
Remote Management object for that interface. If it does not, the object must be changed to allow
the IP.
There are two ways of changing the management interface:
• Change the IP address of the interface directly. For example, the CLI for this would be:
gw-world:/> set Interface Ethernet <interface> IP=<ip_address>
This is not recommended since the address object in the address book for this IP address
would not change and therefore would any of the other rules and object that refer to it.
• Change the IP address of the address object for the interface IP. This is the recommended
method of setting a new management IP address.
