“Management” Adapter
Connect this network interface, preferably to an out-of-
band management network, to allow remote Ally IP1000
configuration and to send SNMP alerts and/or Syslog
messages to a centralized network management facility.
NOTE: Many of our customers want to be able to re-
configure, monitor and manage the Ally IP1000 from a
remote location, such as their office. However, like any
product on the market, allowing remote access from a
public network to the management interface of a
network security device such as the Ally IP1000
introduces a potential point of attack.
The Ally IP1000 Inside and Outside Adapters do not use
an IP or MAC address. This unique approach helps
protect the Ally IP1000 and your network from attacks.
However, the Ally IP1000 management interface utilizes
a limited IP protocol stack to provide secure remote
administration and reporting. Although this interface is
protected by a number of Ally IP1000 security features,
we recommend that you connect this port and the
management ports of all your network security devices
to an out-of-band (private) network.
Many facilities have created an out-of-band network by
installing an inexpensive switch and network cables
between the server room and a few administrators’
offices. This ensures better security while providing
easier remote access for administrators.
