Connecting to the Web Interface

The SMA 500v for AWS virtual appliance always starts with the private IP address automatically assigned by EC2 using DHCP addressing. EC2 also automatically assigns a public IP address to allow access from the internet.

The public IP address assigned by EC2 can change across reboots. To preserve the same public IP address, configure an Elastic IP for the instance. More information on Elastic IP addresses is available here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/elastic-ip-addresses-eip.html

To access the SMA 500v for AWS management web interface over HTTPS

1. Launch a browser and navigate to the SMA 500v for AWS public IP. We use default port 443 to access the SMA 500v for AWS appliance.

   To locate the public IP address of your SMA 500v for AWS instance, click the SMA 500v for AWS instance on the Instances page in AWS EC2 console.

   https://<SMA 500v for AWS Public IP>/

   The default credentials are:

   • Default user name = admin
