This chapter provides information on the Remote Management screens.

22.1 Remote Management Overview

Remote management allows you to determine which services/protocols can access which ZyWALL interface (if any) from which computers.

The following figure shows secure and insecure management of the ZyWALL coming in from the WAN. HTTPS and SSH access are secure. HTTP and Telnet access are not secure.

Figure 270 Secure and Insecure Remote Management From the WAN

"When you configure remote management to allow management from any network except the LAN, you still need to configure a firewall rule to allow access. See Chapter 11 on page 239 for details on configuring firewall rules.

You can also disable a service on the ZyWALL by not allowing access for the service/protocol through any of the ZyWALL interfaces.

You may only have one remote management session running at a time. The ZyWALL automatically disconnects a remote management session of lower priority when another remote management session of higher priority starts. The priorities for the different types of remote management sessions are as follows.
