2.1.3. The Web Interface Chapter 2. Management and Maintenance 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. Note: Recommended web browsers The recommended browsers to use with the Web Interface are as follows: • Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 7 and later) • Firefox (version 3 and later) • Safari (version 3 and later) • Chrome (version 4 and later) • Opera (version 10.5 and later) 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-260E, 860E, 1660, 2560 and 2560G, the default management interface IP address is 192.168.10.1. Setting the Management Workstation IP The default management Ethernet interface of the firewall and the external workstation computer's Ethernet interface must be members of the same logical IP network for communication between them to succeed. Therefore, the connecting Ethernet interface of the workstation must be manually assigned the following static IP values: DFL-210/260/800/860/1600/2500 IP Address: 192.168.1.30 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 DFL-260E/860E/1660/2560/2560G IP Address: 192.168.10.30 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.10.1 Logging on to the Web Interface To access the Web Interface using the factory default settings, launch a web browser on the external workstation computer and point the browser at the IPv4 address: DFL-210/260/800/860/1600/2500 IP Address: 192.168.1.1 DFL-260E/860E/1660/2560/2560G IP Address: 192.168.10.1 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 or https://192.168.10.1 according to model ). Using HTTPS ensures that communication with NetDefendOS is 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. 31
