2.1.3. The Web Interface Chapter 2. Management and Maintenance NetDefendOS provides an intuitive Web Interface (WebUI) for management of the system via an Ethernet interface using a standard web browser. This allows the administrator to perform remote management from anywhere on a private network or the public Internet using a standard computer without having to install client software. Assignment of a Default IP Address For a new D-Link NetDefend firewall with factory defaults, a default internal IP address is assigned automatically by NetDefendOS to the hardware's LAN1 interface (or the LAN interface on models wihout multiple LAN interfaces). The IP address assigned to the management interface differs according to the NetDefend model as follows: • On the NetDefend DFL-210, 260, 800, 860, 1600 and 2500, the default management interface IP address is 192.168.1.1. • On the NetDefend DFL-1660, 2560 and 2560G, the default management interface IP address is 192.168.10.1. Setting the Workstation IP The assigned NetDefend Firewall interface and the workstation interface must be members of the same logical IP network for initial communication between them to succeed so the connecting interface of the workstation must be manually given the following static IP values: • IP address: 192.168.1.30 • Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 • Default gateway: 192.168.1.1 Logging on to the Web Interface To access the Web Interface using the factory default settings, launch a web browser on the workstation (the latest version of Internet Explorer or Firefox is recommended) and point the browser at the address 192.168.1.1. When performing initial connection to NetDefendOS, the administrator must use https:// as the URL protocol in the browser (in other words, https://192.168.1.1). Using HTTPS as the protocol makes communication with NetDefendOS secure. If communication with the NetDefendOS is successfully established, a user authentication dialog similar to the one shown below will then be shown in the browser window. Enter your username and password and click the Login button. The factory default username and 30
