Once the firewall is connected to a power source, SonicOS comes up within a few minutes. You can configure the firewall from either the X0 or MGMT interface. The X0 interface can be configured as a static, transparent, or Layer-2, Bridged-Mode interface. The MGMT port is a dedicated 1 Gigabit Ethernet interface for appliance management and SafeMode access.
To configure HTTPS management via X0
https://192.168.168.168
and log in using the default credentials:Username: admin
Password: password
To configure HTTPS management through the MGMT port
192.168.1.0/24
subnet, such as 192.168.1.20
.https://192.168.1.254
and log in using the default credentials:Username: admin
Password: password
If the services are enabled while using the MGMT port, you can also access SafeMode, SSH or ping via the MGMT port. From SafeMode, you can upgrade firmware, boot backup images and more.
You can also configure your firewall using the SonicOS command line interface (CLI). For more information on using CLI, refer to Setting Up with CLI.
