Vigor Router offers remote management access; however, it is disabled for security reason. If you would like to manage the router from the Internet, follow the steps below.
Make sure the WAN Interface is online, and the router has a public IP address that can be reached from th Internet. Write down the WAN IP.
Go to System Maintenance >> Management page, check Allow management from the Internet, and enable for the management interface you'd like to access from the Internet. (SSH for CLI, HTTPS access for the Web UI). With the configuration above, you may access the router's web management page from the Internet by https://[The Router's WAN IP]
.
To restrict the remote access to a specific IP only, enable Access List then add the public IP of the remote host into the IP List. (The option should be disabled if the remote access peer doesn't have a static public IP. )
Enter a number at index in IP object, IP/musk will automatically show the corresponding profile at IP object.
When You click IP object, it will switch to the IP Object page, you can check the index number for the IP.
