Chapter 6. Administration of the Telecommuting Module
You also need to configure who can access the Telecommuting Module web interface. This is done on the Access Control page under Basic Configuration.
Remember that the configuration you see in the web interface (preliminary configuration) isn’t necessarily the work configuration (permanent configuration) of the Telecommuting Module. When all configuration is made in the web interface, it must be applied. This is done on the Save/Load Configuration page under Administration.
Access Control
On the Access Control page, settings are made which controls the access to the Telecom- muting Module administration interfaces. The Telecommuting Module can be configured via the web (http and https) and via ssh or the serial cable (using the CLI, see chapter 18 of the Reference Guide).
Select one or more configuration IP addresses for the Telecommuting Module. The config- uration address is the IP address to which you direct your web browser to access the web interface of the Telecommuting Module, or connect your ssh client to.
For each network interface, you also specify whether or not the Telecommuting Module can be configured via this network interface.
You also select what kind of authentication will be performed for the users trying to access the administration interfaces.
To further increase security, the Telecommuting Module can only be configured from one or a few computers that are accessed from one of these interfaces. Enter the IP address or addresses that can configure the Telecommuting Module. The IP addresses can belong to one or more computers. For each IP address or interval of addresses, select which configuration protocols are allowed.
Configuration Allowed Via Interface
This setting specifies whether configuration traffic is allowed via this interface. If you only allow configuration via eth1, configuration traffic will only be allowed from computers con- nected to the eth1 interface, regardless of which IP address the configuration traffic is di- rected to or which IP addresses the computers have.
The choices for each interface are On and Off. This configuration is a complement to the Configuration Computers setting below.
