Section E: Logging on to the SG200
After you have performed the initial configuration and connected the SG200 to the network, you must log
on to the SG200 to fully configure the appliance. There are two ways to do this:
•
Use a browser to access the SG200 Management Console Web interface.
•
Use a direct serial connection or an SSH Client to access the SG200 command-line interface (CLI).
Logging on to the SG200 Management Console
The Management Console is a graphical user interface for configuring and managing all aspects of the
SG200. You can log on to the Management Console using a browser.
To Log on to the Management Console Using a Browser:

Open a browser. The SG200 Management Console supports Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, Netscape®
Communicator 7.2, and Firefox 1.0.

8082
. For

Note:
If you performed the initial configuration of the appliance using a browser, you can
validate the credentials in the security warning dialog with the SHA1 fingerprint
information that you received after successfully completing the initial configuration
(see Figure 2-7 on page 17).
