Using the VRRP virtual IP address to access the NSF BBI

To use the VRRP virtual IP address for firewall access by web browser, enable management support for the VRRP interface.

Use the following CLI command to enable management support for the VRRP interface:

/cfg/net/if #/mgmt/ena/apply

The virtual IP address is specified with the ip1 or ip2 command in the CLI menu. For more information, see the Nortel Switched Firewall 2.3.3 User’s Guide and Command Reference, Part No. 213455-L.

Using the VRRP interface IP address enhances firewall security, because users can configure the VRRP interface with the user-defined CheckPoint policies. SSI traffic is separate from the CheckPoint policies.

Logging in

To log in, enter the account name and password for the system administrator or operator account (see Figure 1 on page 16). For more login and password information, see the Nortel Switched Firewall 2.3.3 User’s Guide and Command Reference, (213455-L).
