Registering NSM

After setting up your virtual machine and downloading the NSM image, the next step is to synchronize the NSM instance with the MSW licensing information.

To register and configure NSM

1. Enter the IPv4 address of the NSM instance in a web browser.

   

2. For initial access, log in using admin and password as our credentials. On successful login with default password, you will be prompted to change default password. On successful change of default password, the first time you access NSM, it presents an initialization wizard.

   Changing the default password is mandatory.

   

3. Enter your MySonicWall Username and Password.
4. Enter a MySonicWall Friendly Name.
5. Enter the Serial Number and Authorization Code received from your sales representative.

6. Click Register.

   

7. To confirm registration, navigate to Manager View | System > Settings > Licenses.
8. Validate that the status of your NSM is Licensed.
9. Click Synchronize to synchronize your NSM instance with the License Manager on MSW.

While working on MSW, you can also associate firewalls with the NSM On-Premises instance.
