Temporary Lockdown Mode

A temporary lockdown mode can be enabled and disabled in SonicOS on the MANAGE | Appliance > Base Settings page. You can enable lockdown mode by clearing the Enable management console checkbox under the Advanced Management section, and can disable lockdown mode by selecting the checkbox. Click ACCEPT after each change.

The management console is automatically enabled/disabled a few seconds after it has been enabled/disabled in the SonicOS web interface page.
