— An IP address need not have been assigned to the appliance for management
— Cannot set the appliance to single-port mode during a management session
— Can attach to multiple appliances

Remote network connection, GUI
— In IP address must have been assigned to the appliance
— Cannot set the appliance to single-port mode during a management session
— Can manage only one appliance
Additionally, the behaviors of some commands vary depending upon the management
method. The configuration information for the commands ip name-server, rdate-server,
and ip domain-name can be set remotely, but the configuration information is used only
through a serial or telnet connection. The results of the ping and traceroute commands
also are dependent upon the management method. When used with the remote
management application, these commands are executed and results returned based upon
the configuring computer's network configuration. When used with serial or telnet
management, the results are based upon the SSL appliance's network configuration.
Serial and telnet management commands can use symbolic hostnames in URL identifiers if
the ip name-server has been set.
File name formats differ depending on the management method. When using remote
management, you can specify the file name as it appears in the configuring computer's file
system. A path must be included, if necessary. When using serial or telnet management,
the file name must be in any of the following formats:
[<http:// | ftp:// | https:// | tftp:// >] URL
In situations where a file is written, anonymous write access must be configured on the
system with these caveats:
•
http:—The server must be configured to accept PUT commands
•
https:—The server must be configured to accept PUT commands
•
ftp:—If anonymous write access is not allowed, use this format:
ftp://username:password@host/directory/filename
•
tftp:—Use this format:
tftp://host/filename
where the hostname may be either a URL or IP address
Additionally, we provide a guided QuickStart wizard configuration method, available any
time the configuration manager is used. To use this method of configuring the SonicWALL
SSL appliance, see Chapter 4 QuickStart Wizard. Brief instructions are also included for
initiating a management session using the configuration manager.
