|  5660 and Remote Access
I am wondering if there is a setting to allow remote access to the CLI or Web interface on a 5660. We have some customers that have 5660's installed that we can remotely configure and others that wont allow us to remotely connect. Is there any specific reason for this? Meaning, when these are initially configured, is there a setting I'm missing?
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks,

| There is a page under Configuration Procedures titled "Server Port Mapping" that allows you to enable/disable WAN IP access to the admin servers.
If you have routed service like I do, you have a public IP for the LAN interface to the 5660, and since access to the admin interfaces can not be disabled from the LAN side, they are still reachable from the public internet.
You can also change the ports these servers run on, so that might explain why you can't connect to one if it has a public LAN IP. |

| Well, some of the routers I can connect to remotely have
a Private IP for the LAN interface and I can connect fine.
But I just checked one of them and under server port mapping the HTTP access was checked!
Awesome! I will go ahead and configure the rest the same way.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Then the only way to connect to them from the internet is if WAN access is enabled, you know the public IP address and the port the interface is running on. |
