Logging in

You can log in to SmartNA-X from a web browser or from a command line over a network link to the

not available.
To login to the web UI or CLI, you will need:
• network access to the Management/Network port
if connecting locally
• a SmartNA-X user name and password. Admin credentials are needed to perform administrator tasks.
