System Remote Management

This chapter shows you how to determine which services/protocols can access which ZyWALL zones (if any) from which computers.

Note: To access the ZyWALL from a specified computer using a service, make sure no service control rules or to-ZyWALL firewall rules block that traffic.

38.1 Remote Management Overview

You may manage your ZyWALL from a remote location via:

Internet (WAN only)

ALL (LAN&WAN&DMZ)

LAN only

DMZ only

To disable remote management of a service, deselect Enable in the corresponding service screen.

38.1.1 Remote Management Limitations

Remote management will not work when:

1You have disabled that service in the corresponding screen.

2The accepted IP address in the Service Control table does not match the client IP address. If it does not match, the ZyWALL will disconnect the session immediately.

3There is a firewall rule that blocks it.

38.1.2System Timeout

There is a lease timeout for administrators. The ZyWALL automatically logs you out if the management session remains idle for longer than this timeout period. The management session does not time out when a statistics screen is polling.

Each user is also forced to log in the ZyWALL for authentication again when the reauthentication time expires.
