Refer to the SonicOS Enhanced Administrator’s Guide for advanced configuration deployments.
Testing Your Connection
1.After you exit the Setup Wizard, the login page reappears. Log back into the Management Interface and verify your IP and WAN connection.
2.Ping a host on the Internet, such as sonicwall.com.
3.Open another Web browser and navigate to: <http://www.sonicwall.com>.
If you can view the SonicWALL home page, you have configured your SonicWALL NSA appliance correctly.
If you cannot view the SonicWALL home page, renew your management station DHCP address.
4.If you still cannot view a Web page, try one of these solutions:
•Restart your Management Station to accept new network settings from the DHCP server in the SonicWALL security appliance.
•Restart your Internet Router to communicate with the DHCP Client in the SonicWALL security appliance.
