Managing Your Firewall

To manage your firewall Screen, use the administration GUI on the remote administrative Screen.

There is a predefined rule to allow encrypted administration traffic between the firewall Screen and the administrative Screen. Thus, no other communication (like ping or telnet) is allowed between the two systems until you specifically define a rule to allow such a service. See "Administrative Access Rules" in the SunScreen 3.2 Administration Guide.

To Launch the Administration GUI

1. To configure and manage your firewall Screen, open a Java-enabled Web browser and launch the administration GUI by typing the following URL:

   http://Name_of_Screen:3852/

   The administration GUI appears.

   Note -

   When trying to launch the administration GUI, if you encounter the error: The requested item could not be loaded by the proxy, you must disable proxy usage by specifying localhost in the Don't Proxy list, and then try to launch the GUI again.

2. To login, type the following user default name and password, then click Login:

   User Name: admin Password: admin

Be sure to change your default User Name and Password to something more secure.

See "Using the Administration GUI" in the SunScreen 3.2 Administration Guide for further instructions on configuring and managing your firewall Screen.
