New Gold user - A few questions

Hello,

Done a little searching but have a couple questions:

1) Remote management - Does the iPhone app allow management remote?  IE if I am at work can I manage the device at home?

2) MSP - Is this the only way to have a computer/web interface to manage the device?

3) From MSP can you set up things like DHCP address reservations, port forwarding to devices on the LAN?

4) Does the device auto-power own if the power is cycled?  I have a device that power cycles my modem/routers on a regular basis, so I need the Gold unit to power on and boot when power is applied.

Thanks in advance!

  1) Yes.

  2) No.  You can also use my.firewalla.com

  3) Yes.

  4) Yes, but you won't want to reboot the Firewalla much, I can't even think of a time I've manually cycled it other than to move from a FWG to a FWG+

  Thanks for the answers!

  I will likely change my reboot script once the gold+ is in place to reboot it only periodically (30 days maybe) or not at all.  Will need to see how stable the modems are.

  I use a PDU for the same reasons for my ATT Fiber and Spectrum Cable devices... I found I have no need of rebooting the FW or my eeros, hope you have the same luck.

  Ya, I have a city based fiber at 2.5g up/down and a comcast cable modem.  The comcast modem just flakes out just about every other day.  I have not yet needed to cycle the fiber PON device yet.  But I have the ability to cycle all of them on a script.

  Actually as per Firewalla #3 is a no... You cannot set/adjust these things over MSP.  

  I've made a request to them for that feature.  But for now it is a no-go.

  Can't think of a single time when I had to, or wanted to, power-cycle any of my Firewalla devices. Just not needed.
