Accessing the Management Interface
To access the SonicWALL Management Interface, you need to configure the Management Station
TCP/IP settings in order to initially contact the SonicWALL. A computer used to manage the
SonicWALL is referred to as the “Management Station.” Any computer on the same network as the
SonicWALL can be used to access the management interface.
MD5 authentication is used to secure communications between your Management Station and the
SonicWALL Web Management Interface. MD5 Authentication prevents unauthorized users from
detecting and stealing the SonicWALL password as it is sent over your network.
The Web browser used to access the management interface must be Java-enabled and support
HTTP uploads in order to fully manage the SonicWALL. If your Web browser does not support these
functions, certain features such as uploading firmware and saved preferences files are not available.
S
Alert: Please allow enough time for the SonicWALL security appliance to power up completely before
attempting to log into the Management Interface. It takes approximately one minute for the
SonicWALL security appliance to cycle completely. When the Test light is no longer lit, the
SonicWALL security appliance is ready for configuration.
