Configuring in-path SteelHeads
To connect to the Management Console, you must know the host, domain, and administrator password
that you assigned in the configuration wizard.
Note: Cookies and JavaScript must be enabled in your web browser.
To connect to the Management Console
1. Specify the URL for the Management Console in the location box of your web browser:
<protocol>://<host>.<domain>
The <protocol> variable is http or https. HTTPS uses the SSL protocol to ensure a secure
environment. When you connect using HTTPS, the system prompts you to inspect and verify the
SSL certificate. This is a self-signed certificate that provides encrypted Web connections to the
Management Console. The system re-creates the certificate when you change the appliance
hostname or when the certificate expires.
The secure vault doesn’t protect the self-signed certificate used with HTTPS connections.
The <host> variable is the hostname you assigned to the SteelHead primary interface in the
configuration wizard. If your DNS server maps that IP address to a name, you can specify the DNS
name.
The <domain> variable is the full domain name for the appliance.
Note: Alternatively, you can specify the IP address instead of the host and domain.
The Management Console appears, displaying the Sign in page.
2. In the Username text box, type the user login: admin, monitor, a sign-in from a RADIUS or
database, or any local accounts created using the Role-Based Accounts feature. The default sign-in
is admin.
Users with administrator (admin) privileges can configure and administer the SteelHead. Users with
monitor privileges can view the SteelHead reports, view user logs, and change their own password.
A monitor user can’t make configuration changes.
3. In the Password text box, type the password you assigned in the configuration wizard of the
SteelHead. (The SteelHead is shipped with the default password: password.)
4. Click Sign In to display the Dashboard.
The Dashboard summarizes the current status of your system.
Verifying WAN optimization
Perform these tasks to verify that you have properly configured the SteelHead.
To verify optimization
1. Choose the Reports > Optimization: Bandwidth Optimization in the Management Console to verify
optimization.
2. Map a remote drive on a client machine.
3. Drag and drop a 1-MB file from the client to the remote server.
