Port Renumbering Settings
If you use NAT pinholes to forward HTTP or telnet traffic through your Motorola Netopia®
Gateway to an internal host, you must change the port numbers the Motorola Netopia®
Gateway uses for its own configuration traffic. For example, if you set up a NAT pinhole to
forward network traffic on Port 80 (HTTP) to another host, you would have to tell the Motor-
ola Netopia® Gateway to listen for configuration connection requests on a port number
other than 80, such as 6080.
After you have changed the port numbers the Motorola Netopia® Gateway uses for its con-
figuration traffic, you must use those port numbers instead of the standard numbers when
configuring the Motorola Netopia® Gateway. For example, if you move the router's Web ser-
vice to port "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 interface. Similarly, you would have to configure your telnet application to
use the appropriate port when opening a configuration connection to your Motorola Neto-
pia® Gateway.
set servers web-http [ 1 - 65534 ]
Specifies the port number for HTTP (web) communication with the Motorola Netopia® Gate-
way. Because port numbers in the range 0-1024 are used by other protocols, you should
use numbers in the range 1025-65534 when assigning new port numbers to the Motorola
Netopia® Gateway web configuration interface. A setting of 0 (zero) will turn the server off.
set servers telnet-tcp [ 1 - 65534 ]
Specifies the port number for telnet (CLI) communication with the Motorola Netopia® Gate-
way. Because port numbers in the range 0-1024 are used by other protocols, you should
use numbers in the range 1025-65534 when assigning new port numbers to the Motorola
Netopia® Gateway telnet configuration interface. A setting of 0 (zero) will turn the server
off.

NOTE:
You cannot specify a port setting of 0 (zero) for both the web and telnet ports
at the same time. This would prevent you from accessing the Gateway.
