BCM50a Integrated Router Configuration — Advanced
Remote Management Limitations
Remote management over LAN or WAN does not work when:
1 A filter in menu 3.1 (LAN) or in menu 11.1.4 (WAN) is applied to block a
Telnet, FTP, or Web service.
2 You disable that service in menu 24.11.
3 The IP address in the Secured Client IP field (menu 24.11) does not match
the client IP address. If it does not match, the BCM50a Integrated Router
disconnects the session immediately.
4 There is already another remote management session of the same type (web,
FTP or Telnet) running. Only one remote management session of the same
type can run at one time.
5 There is a web remote management session running with a Telnet session. A
Telnet session is disconnected if you begin a web session; it does not begin if
a Web session is already running.
6 There is a firewall rule that blocks remote management.
Certificate Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select the certificate that
the BCM50a Integrated Router uses to identify itself. The BCM50a
Integrated Router is the SSL server and must always authenticate
itself to the SSL client (the computer that requests the HTTPS
connection with the BCM50a Integrated Router).
Authenticate Client
Certificates
Select Yes by pressing [SPACE BAR], then [ENTER] to require the
SSL client to authenticate itself to the BCM50a Integrated Router by
sending the BCM50a Integrated Router a certificate. To do that, the
SSL client must have a CA-signed certificate from a CA that has
been imported as a trusted CA on the BCM50a Integrated Router
(see Appendix C, “Importing certificates,” on page 209 for details).
After you fill this menu, press [ENTER] at the message "Press ENTER to Confirm or ESC
to Cancel" to save your configuration, or press [ESC] to cancel.
