Description

Resolution

New to 7.1.1 ability to select source IP.

The following example demonstrates the procedure to enable management, however the same steps apply to HTTP, SSH, Ping, SNMP, and/or SSH:

Management Rules lookup based on Source IP, Protocol, Destination IP.

  1. Login to the SonicWall management Interface.
  2. Navigate to NETWORK |Interfaces. 
  3. Click Edit icon for an interface (e.g. WAN / X1 interface) .
  4. Select HTTPS in the supported MANAGEMENT protocol(s) section.
    NOTE: :If you want to allow selected more restrictive source addresses  with limited management rights to log in to the security appliance, select HTTP and/or HTTPS under USER LOGIN.
