WAN HTTP Port (Remote web interface port)
The Exinda SD-WANSoftware-Defined Wide Area Network Management Interface can be configured so that it can be accessed externally from the internet via the Exinda SD-WANWide Area Network WAN ports. To enable this feature, go to the Admin tab and click on the status indicator of the WAN HTTP Port entry in the displayed status table. The pop-up window allows configuration of the feature. If the feature is enabled, a port number must be specified.
If the feature is enabled, the Exinda SD-WAN Management Interface can be remotely accessed from the internet through any of the public IPInternet protocol addresses for the Exinda SD-WAN. These public IP addresses can be obtained from the External IP column in the WAN status table on the Home tab of the Exinda SD-WAN Management Interface. The URL through which the Exinda SD-WAN Management Interface can be accessed is given by the external IP address appended with the assigned port number. For example, if one of the external IP addresses for the Exinda SD-WAN is 76.211.117.87 and the Remote Web Interface is enabled through port 8080, then the Exinda SD-WAN Management Interface can be accessed through the URL http://76.211.117.87:8080.
If Pass Through mode is enabled on WAN interface 1, the Exinda SD-WAN Management Interface can be accessed externally from the internet through the IP address of the router/firewall that is connected to the LANLocal area network port of the Exinda SD-WAN. For example, if the IP address of this router is 76.37.181.2 and the WAN HTTP Port is accessed through port 8080, then the Exinda SD-WAN Management Interface can be externally accessed through the URL http://76.37.181.2:8080. Note that in this example from a host on the LAN of the Exinda SD-WAN, packets addressed to 76.37.181.2 are forwarded to the router/firewall and not the Exinda SD-WAN. To access the Exinda SD-WAN Management Interface from the Exinda SD-WAN LAN, the Exinda SD-WAN LAN address should be used (for example, the default Exinda SD-WAN LAN address 192.168.254.99).
If the WAN HTTP Port is enabled, then it is highly recommended that a web interface password be configured to prevent unauthorized access to the Exinda SD-WAN from the public Internet.
