Administration > Administrative Access

The networks and hosts that are allowed to have administrative access are selected on this screen. This is a

good way to regulate access to the configuration tools.

Administrative Access - Available Networks/Hosts and Allowed Networks/Hosts

Select the networks/hosts that will be allowed administrative access. Note that the selection box list

will include those networks you enter under Networks & Services > Networks.

You can change access by moving network/hosts names from the Available list to/from the

Allowed list. The RouteFinder will display an ERROR message if you try to delete access to a

network that would cause you to lock yourself out.

Any has been set as the default for ease of installation. ANY allows administrative access from

everywhere once a valid password is provided.

Caution: As soon as you can limit the location from which the RouteFinder is to be administered

(e.g., your IP address in the internal network), replace the entry ANY with a smaller network. The

safest approach is to have only one administrative PC given access to the RouteFinder. You can do

this by defining a network with the address of a single computer from the Networks and Services >

Networks screen.

Available Networks/Hosts: The options in the drop-down box are different when Load Balancing is

enabled.

When Load Balancing is enabled, the options are:

Any, WANLINK1 Interface, WANLINK, WANLINK2 Interface, WANLINK2

When Load Balancing is disabled, the options are:

Any, LAN, WAN, DMZ, WAN Interface, DMZ Interface
