Port Renumbering Settings

If you use NAT pinholes to for ward HTTP or telnet traffic through your Motorola Netopia®
Gateway to an internal host, you must change the por t numbers the Motorola Netopia®
Gateway uses for its own configuration traffic. For example, if you set up a NAT pinhole to
for ward network traffic on Por t 80 (HTTP) to another host, you would have to tell the Motor-
ola Netopia® Gateway to listen for configuration connection requests on a por t number
other than 80, such as 6080.

After you have changed the por t numbers the Motorola Netopia® Gateway uses for its con-
figuration traffic, you must use those por t numbers instead of the standard numbers when
configuring the Motorola Netopia® Gateway. For example, if you move the router's Web ser-
vice to por t “6080” on a box with a system (DNS) name of “superbox”, you would enter the
URL

http://superbox:6080 in a Web browser to open the Motorola Netopia® Gateway

graphical user inter face. Similarly, you would have to configure your telnet application to
use the appropriate por t when opening a configuration connection to your Motorola Neto-
pia® Gateway.

set servers web-http [ 1 - 65534 ]

Specifies the por t number for HTTP (web) communication with the Motorola Netopia® Gate-
way. Because por t numbers in the range 0-1024 are used by other protocols, you should
use numbers in the range 1025-65534 when assigning new por t numbers to the Motorola
Netopia® Gateway web configuration inter face. A setting of

0 (zero) will turn the server off.

set servers telnet-tcp [ 1 - 65534 ]

Specifies the por t number for telnet (CLI) communication with the Motorola Netopia® Gate-
way. Because por t numbers in the range 0-1024 are used by other protocols, you should
use numbers in the range 1025-65534 when assigning new por t numbers to the Motorola
Netopia® Gateway telnet configuration inter face. A setting of

0 (zero) will turn the server

off.

NOTE:

You cannot specify a por t setting of

0 (zero) for both the web and telnet ports

at the same time. This would prevent you from accessing the Gateway.
