Enable/Restore Cyberoam Appliance Access

Administrator would not be able to access Cyberoam Appliance from the Web Admin Console due to wrong configuration executed at the appliance. Occurrence of following events can result into loss of Cyberoam Appliance Access:

·         HTTP or HTTPS options are unchecked under appliance access for LAN / WAN / DMZ zone.

·         Virtual host has been created and forwards all services to internal server which makes Cyberoam inaccessible.

·         If Cyberoam Stateful bypass networks contains Cyberoam IP address as Source and Destination, then Cyberoam would not be accessible.

If any of the above-mentioned events occur, the appliance will not be accessible by any protocol – HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet or SSH and the Cyberoam Telnet Console/Cyberoam Web Admin Console would be locked due to wrong configuration.

Note:
