User manual

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 for administrator access to, for example, port 400. Then
the administrator surfs to the IP https://192.168.10.1:400/ to access the web management interface.
Important
The above must be done if there is a clash of port numbers after enabling inbound
traffic.
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. There are two administration options:
• 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.
