ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall SRX5308

Note: For enhanced security, and if practical, restrict remote management

access to a single IP address or a small range of IP addresses.

Note: To maintain security, the VPN firewall rejects a login that uses

http://address rather than the SSL https://address.

Note: The first time that you remotely connect to the VPN firewall with a

browser via an SSL connection, you might get a warning message

regarding the SSL certificate. If you are using a Windows computer

with Internet Explorer 5.5 or later, simply click Yes to accept the

certificate.

Note: If you are unable to remotely connect to the VPN firewall after

enabling HTTPS remote management, check if other user policies,

such as the default user policy, are preventing access. For access to

the VPN firewall’s web management interface, check if

administrative access through a WAN interface is granted (see

Configure Login Policies on page 229).

Note: If you disable HTTPS remote management, all SSL VPN user

connections are also disabled.

Tip: If you are using a dynamic DNS service such as TZO, you can identify

the WAN IP address of your VPN firewall by running

tracert from the

Windows Run menu option. Trace the route to your registered FQDN.

For example, enter tracert VPN firewall.mynetgear.net, and

the WAN IP address that your ISP assigned to the VPN firewall is

displayed.

Using the Command-Line Interface

You can access the command-line interface (CLI) using the console port on the rear panel of

the VPN firewall (see Rear Panel on page 16).

You can access the CLI from a communications terminal when the VPN firewall is still set to

its factory defaults (or use your own settings if you have changed them).
