Chapter 23 Remote Management Screens

ZyWALL 2WG User’s Guide

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 

 

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.

1 Console port
2 SSH 
3 Telnet
4 HTTPS and HTTP

Remote management does not work when:

1 You have not enabled that service on the interface in the corresponding remote 

management screen.

2 You have disabled that service in one of the remote management screens.
3 The IP address in the Secure Client IP Address field does not match the client IP 

address. If it does not match, the ZyWALL will disconnect the session immediately.

4 There is already another remote management session with an equal or higher priority 

running. You may only have one remote management session running at one time.

5 There is a firewall rule that blocks it.
6 A filter is applied (through the SMT or the commands) to block a Telnet, FTP or Web 

service.

There is a default system management idle timeout of five minutes (three hundred seconds). 
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. You can change the timeout period in the MAINTENANCE > General screen.
