Installation Guide
The <IP address> that you use depends on how you are connected to
the appliance:
• Remotely (across the network), through the LAN1 port — Use the
LAN1 port IP address that you have configured for the appliance
(it is 10.1.1.108 by default).
• Remotely (across the network), through the LAN2 port (available
for transparency mode only) — Use the LAN2 port IP address that
you have configured for the appliance (it is 10.1.2.108 by
default).
• Locally, directly connected to the LAN2 port (available for proxy
mode only) — Use the LAN2 port IP address that you have
configured for the appliance (it is 10.1.2.108 by default).
NOTE: If you are using the appliance in transparency mode,
use the IP address for the port and subnet to which your
management computer is connected.
All management connections use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
encryption, so they are secure. The SSL connection closes when
you terminate the management session by clicking Log off.
To maintain security during long management sessions, the
SSL connection also closes after 15 minutes of inactivity.

are using the appliance in proxy mode, the LAN2 port's IP

You can use the LAN2 port for direct management access if
you are unable to access the LAN1 port.
You must ensure that the web browser on the management
computer (the computer you are using to manage the
appliance) does not have the appliance configured as its proxy.
If it is, the management connection does not work.
Additionally, if you have a proxy between the management
computer and the appliance, the proxy must be configured
with the appliance as its handoff host.
