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 C-1.
Figure C-1. Configuration Manager Hierarchy
To configure items in a submode, activate the submode by entering a command in the
mode above it. For example, to set the network interface speed or duplex you must first
enter enable, configure, then interface network. To return to the higher Configuration
mode, simply enter end or exit or press CTRL+D. The Chapter C Command Summary
in this guide lists all commands for the SSL appliance.
Configuration Security
SonicWALL SSL appliances allow easy, flexible configuration without compromising the
security of your network or their own configuration.
Passwords
SonicWALL SSL appliances use two levels of password protection: access- and enable-level.
Access-level passwords control who can attach the configuration manager to the specific
device and view statistics and other nonsensitive data. Enable-level passwords control who
can view the same data available with access-level passwords as well as view sensitive data
and configure the device.
