HTTPS Management via MGMT Port

The MGMT port is a dedicated 1 Gigabit Ethernet interface for appliance management and SafeMode access.

1. Connect your management computer to the SonicOSX MGMT interface and configure your computer with a static IP address on the MGMT subnet (default subnet: 192.168.168.0/24).
2. In your browser, enter the default IP address https://192.168.168.166 and log in using the default credentials:
3. Username: admin
   Password: password
4. Your default password must be changed at first time while logging in after upgrade. Create a password that meets the security requirements. A password should have at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special character. For example, S0nicW@ll.

   

5. Perform the following steps to change password:
   1. In Old Password text box, enter your default password.
   2. In New Password text box, enter your new password.
   3. In Confirm Password text box, re-enter your new password.
6. Click Change Password.
7. Continue with SonicOSX Basic Configuration.

If the services are enabled, you can access SafeMode, SSH, or ping via the MGMT port. From SafeMode, you can upgrade firmware, boot backup images and more.
