The Sevio Router features an integrated firewall that separates the LAN (automation network) and WAN (installation site network). In order to optimize processes and production, it may be necessary to access services on the other network.
Sevio System offers a variety of access solutions, customized to the Router Series and individual user demands.
Specifically:
- R Series - Port Redirect and IP Redirect.
- SV Series - Secure Local Access and IP Forwarding.
For R Series Routers, configuration is performed via the Router's Web Interface.
Users can expose either the entire IP address (IP Redirect) or a specific service of a Device on the opposing network (Port Redirect).
There is no restriction on the number of redirect rules that can be added.
To enable or disable a Redirect Rule:
- Access the Router's Web Interface.
- From the Network section, access the Firewall Submenu.
- Enable or disable the desired Rule.
Redirect Rules can be configured from the Network section of the Web Interface > Submenu Firewall.
For further details, please refer to the Firewall in the Web Interface article.
Secure Local Access
Secure Local Access enables one or more Workstation on the local network (WAN) to connect with Devices on the automation network (LAN).
This feature allows for the configuration of secure WAN to LAN access, maintaining all Firewall functionalities while granting complete access exclusively to authorized Devices.
It enables access to all Devices within the LAN through a single configuration.
The configuration of this feature is accessible within the Portal > Secure Local Access Panel.
For further details, please refer to the Secure Local Access article.
IP Forwarding
Enabling IP Forwarding exposes devices on the automation network (LAN) to the installation site network (WAN), and vice versa. Exercise caution when using this functionality, as it shifts the security perimeter and boundary to the network of the installation site.
The IP Forwarding Panel, located in the Devices section of the Portal, allows for the establishment of WAN to LAN and LAN to WAN rules.
Refer to the IP Forwarding article for complete details on this functionality.
