Figure 23-2 Remote Access Page
By enabling Remote Access you are activating a special account used by IronPort Customer 
Support for debugging and general access to the system. This is used by IronPort Customer 
Support for tasks such as assisting customers in configuring their systems, understanding 
configurations, and investigating problem reports. You can also use the 
techsupport
 
command in the CLI.
When enabling the “Secure Tunnel,” the appliance creates an SSH tunnel over the specified 
port to the server upgrades.ironport.com. By default this connection is over port 443, which 
will work in most environments. Once a connection is made to upgrades.ironport.com, 
IronPort Customer Support is able to use the SSH tunnel to obtain access to the appliance. As 
long as the connection over port 443 is allowed, this will bypass most firewall restrictions. 
You can also use the 
techsupport tunnel
 command in the CLI.
In both the “Remote Access” and “Tunnel” modes, a password is required. It is important to 
understand that this is not the password that will be used to access the system. Once that 
password and the system serial number are provided to your Customer Support 
representative, a password used to access the appliance is generated.
Once the techsupport tunnel is enabled, it will remain connected to 
upgrades.ironport.com
 for 7 days. After 7 days, no new connections can be made using 
the techsupport tunnel. If there are any existing connections using the tunnel after 7 days, 
those connections will continue to exist and work. However, once those connections are 
closed, they will not be able to open again because the techsupport tunnel will have closed 
after 7 days. The timeout set on the SSH tunnel connection does not apply to the Remote 
Access account; it will remain active until specifically deactivated.
Packet Capture
Sometimes when you contact IronPort Customer Support with an issue, you may be asked to 
provide insight into the network activity going into and out of the Web Security appliance. 
The appliance provides the ability to intercept and display TCP/IP and other packets being 
transmitted or received over the network to which the appliance is attached.
You might want to run a packet capture to debug the network setup and to discover what 
network traffic is reaching the appliance or leaving the appliance.
