Management Interface Introduction

The following is an overview of basic setup tasks that connect you to the Web-based management interface of the SRA appliance. For more detailed information on establishing a management session and basic setup tasks, refer to the Dell SonicWALL SRA Getting Started Guide. To access the Web-based management interface of the Dell SonicWALL SRA:

1
Connect one end of a CAT-6 cable into the X0 port of your SRA appliance. Connect the other end of the cable into the computer you are using to manage the SRA appliance.

2
Set the computer you use to manage your SRA appliance to have a static IP address in the 192.168.200.x/24 subnet, such as 192.168.200.20. For help with setting up a static IP address on your computer, refer to the Dell SonicWALL SRA Getting Started Guide for your model.

NOTE: For configuring the SRA appliance using the Web-based management interface, a Web browser supporting Java and HTTP uploads, such as Internet Explorer 9 or higher, Firefox 16.0 or higher, or Chrome 22.0 or higher is recommended. Users will need to use IE 9 or higher, supporting JavaScript, Java, cookies, SSL and ActiveX in order to take advantage of the full suite of SRA applications.
