Https Management Of The Sonicwall; Enabling Ping - SonicWALL TELE3 SP Administrator's Manual

Enabling Ping

By default, your SonicWALL does not respond to ping requests from the Internet. This Rule
allows ping requests from your ISP servers to your SonicWALL.
1. Click Add New Rule in the Rules window to launch the "Add Network Access Rule"
window.
2. Select Allow from the Action menu.
3. Select Ping from the Service menu.
4. Select WAN from the Source Ethernet menu.
5. Enter the starting IP address of the ISP network in the Source Addr Range Begin field
and the ending IP address of the ISP network in the Source Addr Range End field.
6. Select LAN from the Destination Ethernet menu.
7. Since the intent is to allow a ping only to the SonicWALL, enter the SonicWALL LAN IP
Address in the Destination Addr Range Begin field.
8. Select Always from the Apply this rule menu to ensure continuous enforcement.
9. Click Update to add your new Rule.

HTTPS Management of the SonicWALL

To enhance the security of the TELE3 SP, HTTPS Management using Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) is supported when you log into the SonicWALL using https://IP Address where the IP
address is the SonicWALL LAN IP address. For example, if the LAN IP address of your
SonicWALL appliance is 192.168.168.1, you can log in using HTTPS by entering
<https://192.168.168.1>. Access is encrypted using SSL technology for a secure connection.
HTTPS Management allows secure access to the SonicWALL without a VPN client. It is a
simple and secure way to manage your SonicWALL from both the LAN and the WAN.
