Chapter 14 Remote Management

This chapter covers remote management found in SMT menu 24.11.

14.1 Telnet

The only way to configure the ExpWave for remote management is through an SMT session using the console port. Once your ExpWave is configured, you can use telnet to configure it remotely as shown next.

Figure 14-1 Telnet Configuration on a TCP/IP Network

14.2 FTP

You can upload and download the ExpWave’s firmware and configuration files using FTP, please see Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance for details. To use this feature, your computer must have an FTP client.

14.3 SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. Your ExpWave supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the ExpWave through the network. Refer to the SNMP chapter for more information.

14.4 DNS

Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa, for example, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. Refer to the Internet Access chapter for more information.

14.5 Remote Management

Remote management control is for managing Telnet and FTP services. You can customize the service port, access interface and the secured client IP address to enhance security and flexibility.

You may manage your ExpWave from a remote location via:

Internet (WAN only)

ALL (LAN and WAN)
