Nortel Networks BCM50a Network Router User Manual


 
66 Chapter 4 User Notes
N0115790
If the Administrator Timeout is set to 0, and an administration session is
terminated without logging off, the router needs to be rebooted in order for the
administrator to log in to the WebGUI again. Alternatively, the administrator can
log in using a TelNet session, if TelNet access has been enabled in the Remote
Management menu.
Firewall
1 Address Range Validation
In the firewall rules, the router does not confirm when given an address range, that
the second address is higher than the first. If this type of address range is entered,
the range is ignored.
2 Automatic Firewall Programming
Configurations to various areas of the router, such as remote management or
adding a SUA Server, do not automatically add the appropriate rules to the
Firewall, to enable the traffic to pass through the router. These need to be added
separately.
Note: Firewall rules do not apply to IPSec tunnels.
NAT
1 Deleting NAT Rule Does Not Drop an Existing Connection
If a NAT rule is deleted, the router must be rebooted to apply the change to
existing service connections. This is already noted in the GUI.
2 Confusing NAT Traversal Status
If NAT Traversal is enabled, but is not needed (because the client is not behind a
NAT router), it will be shown as 'inactive' in the VPN Client Monitor. This may
confuse some users.
VPN Client Termination
1 Change of User Account Does Not Drop Existing Connections
