Example 2.1. Remote Management via HTTPS with CA Signed Certificates
Command-Line Interface
Device:/> set Settings RemoteMgmtSettings
HTTPSCertificate=HostA
HTTPSRootCertificates=RootA2,RootA1,RootA3
Web Interface
1. Go to: System > Device > Remote Management > Advanced Settings
2. Under WebUI enter the HTTPS Certificate and the Remote Management certificates.
3. Click OK
These same CA signed certificates are also used by the cOS Core SSL VPN feature when a user is
connecting for the first time and a dialog of options is displayed.
Caution: Don't expose the management interface to the Internet
The above examples are provided for illustrative purposes only. It is never recommended
to expose any management interface to any user on the Internet.
Restarting cOS Core with the Web Interface
The Web Interface can be used to restart cOS Core by selecting the option Status >
Maintenance > Reset & Restore. The following restart options are available:
• Reconfigure
This does not restart the hardware but only reloads the configuration. This is equivalent to
the reconf CLI command. In most cases, all connections including VPN tunnels are unaffected.
Apart from reloading the configuration, many of cOS Core's internal data structures related to
rules and traffic processing are reinitialized and this can sometimes be a way to solve
problems related to memory management.
• Restart
This restarts the hardware and is equivalent to the shutdown CLI command. Only cOS Core
restarts and not the cOS Core loader. This is the usual method of performing a restart.
• Reboot
This restarts the hardware and is equivalent to the shutdown -reboot CLI command. It is
similar to the previous Restart option with a graceful shutdown but is also equivalent to
switching power off and on so that the cOS Core boot program is also reloaded. This option is
not normally used in standard operation and also requires longer for the restart.
