appliance_access

Allows you to override or bypass the configured device access settings and allow access to all the Sophos Firewall services.

Command

system appliance_access

Syntax

system appliance_access [enable|disable|show]

Options

[enable]

Turns on access to all the firewall services.

Warning

The firewall stops forwarding outgoing traffic to the internet if you turn this option on. You must turn it on only for short periods when emergency access is required. It causes all the ports to accept incoming traffic, including legacy services such as telnet. You must turn it off once full access to the firewall has been restored.

[disable]

Turns off appliance access. The configured device access settings are now in effect.

Default: Disable

[show]

Shows the current appliance access status.
