18.1 Remote Management Overview

Remote management allows you to determine which services/protocols can access which ZyWALL
interface (if any) from which computers.
When you configure remote management to allow management
from the WAN, you still need to configure a firewall rule to allow
access. See the firewall chapters for details on configuring firewall
rules.
You may manage your ZyWALL from a remote location via:
When you choose WAN only or ALL (LAN & WAN& DMZ), you
still need to configure a firewall rule to allow access.
To disable remote management of a service, select Disable in the corresponding Server Access field.
You may only have one remote management session running at a time. The ZyWALL automatically
disconnects a remote management session of lower priority when another remote management session
of higher priority starts. The priorities for the different types of remote management sessions are as
follows.
1. Console port
2. SSH
3. Telnet
4. HTTPS and HTTP
18.1.1 Remote Management Limitations
Remote management over LAN or WAN will not work when:
1. A filter in SMT menu 3.1 (LAN) or in menu 11.5 (WAN) is applied to block a Telnet, FTP or
Web service.
2. You have disabled that service in one of the remote management screens.
3. The IP address in the Secure Client IP Address field does not match the client IP address. If
it does not match, the ZyWALL will disconnect the session immediately.
