 Accessing the SonicWALL Management Interface
To access the Web-based management interface of the SonicWALL CSM, configure your 
out-of-band management station (the computer you are using to manage the SonicWALL 
CSM) with the following static TCP/IP address properties:
IP address: Use an available IP address on the 192.168.168.0/24 subnet. For 
example, 192.168.168.20
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DNS settings: You do not need to configure the default gateway or DNS 
settings.
For help configuring a static IP address, refer to “Configuring Static IP” on page 33.
When you have configured the static IP address and subnet mask on your management 
station, perform the following steps to access the SonicWALL CSM management 
interface:
1. Connect one end of the red crossover Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the out-
of-band management station. Connect the other end of the red crossover cable to 
the X2 port on the SonicWALL CSM.
Note: 
The X2 port is for out-of-band management and has no network connection.
2. Start your Web browser. 
Alert: 
Your Web browser must support Java and HTTP uploads. Internet Explorer 5.0 
or higher or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or higher are recommended.
