2. 
In the Secure HTTPS Management section of the screen, enter number of the port that you 
want to use to access Web Management Interface of the STM. The default setting is port 
443, but you can enter a port ranging from 1024 to 65535. You cannot use some ports such 
as 2080 and 8088 that might be used by the STM.
This section of the screen also displays the HTTPS hyperlink through which you can 
access the Web Management Interface of the STM. The hyperlink consists of the IP 
address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the STM and the port number that you 
have assigned.
3. 
In the Access Control List section of the screen, you can specify IP addresses or IP address 
ranges that you want to grant access to the Web Management Interface for increased 
security. To specify a range, separate the beginning IP address and the ending IP address 
by a hyphen (-).To allow access from all IP addresses and IP address ranges, leave this field 
blank.

Click Apply to save your changes. 
Note:  
To maintain security, the STM rejects a login that uses http://address 
rather than the SSL https://address.
Note:  
The first time that you remotely connect to the STM with a browser 
via an SSL VPN 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.
Using an SNMP Manager
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) forms part of the Internet Protocol Suite as 
defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). SNMP is used in network 
management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant 
administrative attention. 
SNMP exposes management data in the form of variables on the managed systems, which 
describe the system configuration. These variables can then be queried (and sometimes set) 
by managing applications.
SNMP lets you monitor and manage your STM from an SNMP manager. It provides a remote 
means to monitor and control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistics 
collection, performance, and security. The STM provides support for report aggregation 
through SNMP version 1 (SNMPv1) and version 2 (SNMPv2).
