CONFIGURATION MANAGER
This chapter describes how to use the configuration manager to configure the SSL
appliance. Refer to Chapter 3 SSL Introduction for a brief introduction to how the
SonicWALL SSL appliance works with components of the SSL protocol and description of
the information you need to begin configuration. If you have not installed the software,
refer to Chapter 2 Installation for instructions. This chapter also includes configuration
examples.
System Prompts
The system prompts displayed by the configuration manager vary slightly depending upon
the management session type used. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all prompts
displayed in this chapter reflect those encountered with the remote configuration manager.
Overview
Whether used via serial or telnet connection or remotely, the command line interface of the
configuration manager gives you greater control over the SSL appliance than the
QuickStart wizard provides.
The configuration manager allows you to control hardware and SSL portions of the
appliance through a discreet mode and submode system as shown in the hierarchy diagram
in Figure 5-1.
