Configuring out-of-band management settings

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

After configuring a second network interface, you can configure out-of-band management settings on the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway administration portal. Out-of-band management enables you to isolate client traffic from system management traffic.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have two network interfaces configured on the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway.

Procedure

  1. On the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway administration portal, navigate to Security Settings > OOB Management.
  2. From Portal and AAWG Services, select the network interface that you want to use for client traffic.
  3. From OAM, select the network interface that you want to use for system management traffic.
  4. Optional To block SSH connections to the network interface you use for client traffic, select the Block ssh traffic on the in-band (Portal and AAWG Services) network check box.
  5. Click Save.
  6. In the Confirm Action window, click Yes and then wait until the configuration process is completed.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Optional To verify the changes, do the following:
    1. Log out from the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway administration portal.
    2. In a new browser window, try to open the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway administration portal using the IP address of the network interface you configured for client traffic.
    3. Ensure that the browser displays the Site cannot be reached message.
    4. In a new browser window, open the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway administration portal using the IP address of the network interface you configured for system management traffic.
    5. Log in to the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway administration portal.
    6. If you selected the Block ssh traffic on the in-band (Portal and AAWG Services) network check box, log in to the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway CLI using SSH with the IP address of the network interface you configured for client traffic.
    7. Ensure that you cannot log in to the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway CLI using SSH.

Next Steps

In a cluster deployment, update internode SSH communication settings as described in Configuring RSA public and private keys for SSH connections in a cluster.
