management interface after applying changes, we will need the firewall's new
IP address.
➔ Make sure you have the firewall's new IP address (in the local network)
written down.
➔ Click “Apply changes”
If you used the “First install” wizard to alter the firewall's IP address on the
local network, the we will lose our connection to the firewall after applying
changes. The next paragraph deals with re-establishing the connection.
1.6.5 Connecting to the firewall's management interface
After we've applied the changes made in the “First install” wizard, we may
loose our connection to the firewall's management interface because
(according to the firewall's new local network settings) our PC or notebook is no
longer on the same local network as the firewall is. If such is the case, then we
have to make a new connection to the firewall before we can proceed.
The first step towards this is to obtain a new network address, which is valid
according to the firewall's local network settings. A good way to do this is to
reboot the PC or notebook. (Experienced system administrators may opt to
renew their machine's DHCP lease instead. Remember to verify the addresses
you obtain by this method).
➔ Reboot the PC or notebook
➔ After rebooting the computer, start a web browser.
➔ In the address bar of your web browser, type “https://”, followed by the IP
address of the firewall (which you have written down), followed by “:12000”.
In our example this would lead to the address https://192.168.0.1:12000.
Then press enter.
➔ When prompted for a user name and password, enter “admin” (user name)
and “password” (as password), then click “OK”.
If you get a “timeout”, “not found” or “permission denied” error, please refer to
section 1.13 ( Errors and recovery).
