BCM50 Administration Guide
HTTP/HTTPS server
HTTP and HTTPS servers are available as an option only for software updates. It can be a good
solution if you have many BCM50s that require software updates from a centralized location. See
Table 16 for the information required to use an HTTP or HTTPS server.
Connecting to Element Manager through a router
If you have a BCM50 with an integrated router, BCM Element Manager cannot be used from the
WAN until the router is configured properly. This section explains the necessary settings for
enabling BCM Element Manager operation from the WAN side of the integrated router.
Consult the BCM50a or BCM50e documentation for information on how to modify these settings.
Configuring firewall settings
If the firewall is enabled, add the following rule:
• Source address: Element Manager IP address or "Any." This is the IP address of the system
that the Element Manager resides on.
• Destination address: BCM50 LAN IP address. This is the IP address listed in Element
Manager under System/IP Subsystem/General Settings.
• Service Type: TCP:5989, 443 and 80 (port number for OpenWbem, https and http)
• Action: forward
Adding NAT rules
You must configure these three services for NAT: OpenWbem, HTTPs, and HTTP. Configure
them using the following three rules:
• Name: OpenWbem
• Start Port: 5989
• End Port: 5989
• Server IP address: The BCM50 LAN IP address
• Name: HTTPs
