Configuring Management Ports

Note: Radware management interfaces communicate with various UDP/TCP ports using HTTPS,
HTTP, Telnet, and SSH. If you intend to use these interfaces, ensure they are accessible and not
blocked by your firewall.
To manage the platform, you need to configure a management port using an IP address. You can
then manage the platform (depending on the particular product) with SSH, Telnet, HTTPS, HTTP
SOAP, APSolute Vision, or Web Based Management (WBM). For details on the management
interfaces that a product supports, see the relevant user guide.
To configure the management port for the first time
1. Ensure that an ASCII console is connected to the platform through the serial cable and that
console computer is turned on.
The following procedure uses HyperTerminal (recommended) as the console application.
2. From the HyperTerminal open window, select File > Properties, or click the Properties icon in
the toolbar. The New Connection Properties dialog box is displayed.
3. In the New Connection Properties dialog box, select Configure. The Properties window is
displayed with the Port Settings pane.
4. In the Port Settings pane, set the following parameters:
— Bits per second: 19200
— Data bits: 8
— Parity: None
— Stop bits: 1
— Flow control: None
