Logging Into SonicOS

To log into the SonicOS web management interface, enter the firewall IP address into your browser using HTTPS. The default X0 LAN IP address is https://192.168.168.168. The default credentials are:

• Username: admin
• Password: password

You can also log in using the WAN IP address if the WAN interface (usually X1 or X2) is configured to allow HTTPS management. SonicOS provides a DHCP server to give your computer an IP address in the same subnet, so there is no need to give it a static IP address before logging in.

The login page provides links to related SonicWall products at the right while you enter your SonicOS credentials at the left.

After entering the Username and Password, click LOGIN or press Enter to log in.

The SonicOS web management interface is best viewed using 1920x1080 resolution.
