3.1. Administration
For instance, if HTTPS is used for management access and HTTPS inbound traffic is enabled (this
is done in Section 4.3, "Inbound Traffic Options") then both will use the port number 443 and there
will be a problem. The port number for management traffic and normal HTTPS traffic must
be unique.
The solution is to change the HTTPS port that is used for administrator access. This could, for
example, be changed to port 400. Then the administrator would surf to https://192.168.10.1:400/ in
order to access the web management interface through a browser.
Management Through the Serial Console
Some administration tasks can be carried out through a console device attached directly to the serial
port of the DFL-160 which is described in Section 2.4, "Console Port Connection".
There are two administration options when using the console port:
• Using the boot menu
The boot menu can be accessed between power up and completion of NetDefendOS startup. It is
used for performing a limited set of low level administration tasks and is described fully in
Chapter 8, The Console Boot Menu.
• Using CLI Commands
Once NetDefendOS has booted up and started, a set of CLI commands can be entered through
the console. These commands are listed and described in Appendix A, CLI Reference.
Important: Changing the port number may be necessary
Changing the port number must be done if there is a clash of port numbers after
enabling inbound traffic.
