Using SafeMode on the Management Console

Please contact SonicWall Technical Support for assistance in the following operations.

The On-Premises Analytics instance can be configured to boot into SafeMode by using the Reboot | Shutdown screen in the management console.

In SafeMode, some of the features the management console provides are different in the following ways:

• Configurable interfaces
• Configurable default gateway
• Configurable DNS servers
• Download system logs
• Apply re-upgrade or hotfix

Changes made to interfaces in SafeMode are not persistent between reboots.

The SafeMode Management Console always starts with the System Info screen.

To exit SafeMode, disable it on the Reboot | Shutdown screen. See for more information.
