Accessing the SonicWall NSv Web Interface

To access the SonicWall NSv web interface, you need to assign an Elastic IP (EIP) to the NSv management interface. For this, you need to use the management Elastic Network Interface (ENI).

To locate the management ENI

1. In your browser, navigate to EC2 > Instances.

   

2. Select the SonicWall NSv instance.

3. Select eth0 in the lower pane.

4. Copy the Interface ID value into your clipboard (eni-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). This is the management ENI.

5. Paste the value into a temporary file, so you can refer to it during the next procedure.

To locate or create the Elastic IP (EIP) and associate it with the management interface

1. In the left navigation pane, click Elastic IPs.

   

2. Select an IP address that is “free,” or if no addresses are available, click Allocate new address at the top of the screen.

3. Right-click on the address row and select Associate Address from the right-click menu. The Associate address screen displays.

   

4. For Resource type, select Network interface.

5. In the Network interface drop-down menu, select the ENI of the management interface that you located in the previous procedure.

6. Click Associate.

At this point, you can point your browser to the Elastic IP (EIP) address that you just associated to the ENI of the NSv management interface, by typing in the URL consisting of the IPv4 EIP address (for example: https://xx.xx.xxx.xxx).

To locate the EIP address, see Step 1.

The SonicWall NSv login page is displayed. Log in using the default credentials (admin / password where the password is the AWS instance ID of the newly created SonicWall NSv instance such as i-02aaxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

If you have not already registered, register your NSv virtual machine with MySonicWall. See Registering the NSv Appliance as PAYG.
