To enable secure remote management, click Access on the left side of the browser window, and
click the Management tab. Then select Enable Management Using VPN Client to enable secure
remote management using Manual Key.
When remote management is enabled, a Management SA is automatically generated. The
Management SA uses Manual Keying to set up a VPN tunnel between the SonicWALL and the VPN
client. The Management SA also defines Inbound and Outbound Security Parameter Indices (SPIs)
which match the last eight digits of the SonicWALL serial number. The preset SPIs are displayed in
the Security Association Information section. It is not necessary to configure a VPN connection for
Remote Management as the Management SA is automatically configured in this section.
