If you want to enable remote management of the SonicWall security appliance from this interface, select the supported management protocol(s): HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Ping, SNMP, and/or SSH. You can also select HTTP for management traffic. However, bear in mind that HTTP traffic is less secure than HTTPS. You can also use a checkbox to add a rule to redirect from HTTP to HTTPS to enforce security on the interface.
