Abstract:
1. A computing device-implemented method, comprising: receiving, by the computing device, an activation inform message associated with a local area network device; verifying, by the computing device, the local area network device and a gateway device associated with the local area network device based on an Internet protocol address included in the activation inform message; selecting, by the computing device, a new connection request port forwarding entry from a plurality of port forwarding entries based on the activation inform message; mapping, by the computing device, one or more fields of the new connection request port forwarding entry to a port mapping entry of the gateway device, the new connection request port forwarding entry including a first field to store an Internet protocol address of the computing device, a second field to store a connection request port assigned to the gateway device for the local area network device, a third field to store a private Internet protocol address of the local area network device, and a fourth field to store a default connection request port of the local area network device; performing, by the computing device, a set parameter value operation to add the new connection request port forwarding entry in the gateway device when the local area network device and the gateway device are verified; sending, by the computing device, a connection request operation, to be forwarded by the gateway device, to the local area network device, based on the new connection request port forwarding entry; receiving a remote management instruction;
