Configuring Your Management Station Your SonicWALL is configured with the default IP address of 192.168.168.168. This IP address is used to initially access the Management interface of the SonicWALL. To access the Management interface for the first time, you must configure your computer with an IP address in the same network range as the SonicWALL.
