10.9 Remote Access

Remote Access enables the Administrator to remotely provision the router over a secure SSL-based Web User Interface. He can also perform remote software upgrades and remote monitoring to ensure smooth operation of the network. In case of external attacks, the administrator can use the logging provided by the router to locate what kind of attack has happened, when it has taken place and which device may have played a role in it. The administrator can then decide on what firewall policies to add to prevent future attacks (or take necessary steps to correct any internal device problem). Once the problem is corrected, the logs can be used to verify the smooth and correct operation of the router.

Select Tools → Remote Access to configure Remote Access as explained below.
