Managing SonicOS/X on the NSv Series

The X1 interface is the default WAN Interface and is set to use DHCP addressing by default, with HTTPS management enabled. To ease testing, you can utilize a DHCP server on the X1 connected network. If DHCP is not available, use the console to access the CLI and configure a static IP address.

The X0 interface is the default LAN interface, and also has HTTPS management enabled. Its IP address is set to 192.168.168.168 by default. You can map this interface to your own network during initial deployment of the OVF template. After deployment, you can reconfigure the IP address to an address in your network.

To log into SonicOS/X for management of the NSv

1. Point your browser to either the LAN or WAN IP address. The login screen is displayed.

   When the X1 WAN interface is using DHCP addressing, DNS is also enabled. You can generally access the WAN address from any machine in your network.

   If you have an existing network on 192.168.168.0/24 in your environment, you can access the default IP address of the X0 LAN interface of your NSv Series from a computer on that network for SonicOS/X management. The NSv Series X0 IP address is 192.168.168.168 by default.

2. Enter the administrator credentials (default admin / password) and press Enter.

   The SonicOS/X management interface is displayed. You can navigate and update the configuration just as you would with any SonicWall network security virtual machine
