NexentaStor – Access web console from different subnets

nexenta

I'm trying to access the NexentaStor web console via port 2000 from a different subnet than the system's main IP address. In my situation, this is either over a VPN or to access a remote Nexenta appliance over a private network. I can see the system via ping and telnet to port 2000, but the NMV interface does not work. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

9 times out of 10, this is not NexentaStor at all, except that the default port, 2000, is one claimed by Cisco. Login to the appliance using SSH as root, and type "setup appliance init" and then hit No to the first question then it asks for HTTP/HTTPS and the port to use - you can use HTTP or HTTPS, but change the port to something else, I use 7878. Then try again. This is typically a Cisco ASA or other firewall filtering port 2000 that causes this symptom.
