WAN & LAN interface cannot be accessed with HTTPS

AjishlalAjishlal Community Legend ✭✭✭✭✭

Hi,

After the Gen 5 sonic OS upgrade to the latest version 5.9.2.13, we upgraded the Firmware exact 1 month back & its continuously working but today onwards I am not able to login the the Gen 5 Firewalls WAN & LAN interface through HTTPS (only enabled HTTPS). Is there any known issue ?

Other than this issue, everything is smoothly going. site to site VPN tunnel is up and able to ping to the LAN interface.

Once it turn off the unit and turn on, able to access the WAN & LAN interface through HTTPS.

    Hi @Ajishlal

    I checked on a NSA 3500 which is still running around, no problem there. So it's probably nothing which affects all Gen5.

    All good with the certificate? Can you enable HTTP on your LAN interface via SSH to check if the UI is still working?

  • Hi @AJISHLAL,

    I have checked this on my lab firewall NSA 4500 and couldn't see this issue. All pretty normal. Please make sure you try different browsers when the issue happens. Also the SSH access to the firewall at the time of issue.

    Hi @BWC | @Saravanan ,

    I faced the issue on SOHO with sonicOS 5.9.2.13 & 5.9.2.7. It was worked fine and I am able to access the WAN & LAN manage interface through HTTPS.

    Which units are continuously working more than 30 days after the firmware upgrade (no restart after the firmware upgrade ) getting high temperature and manageable interface (HTTPS) not able to accessible . The problem will solve once it turned off and ON and this not the permanent solution & these units are in remote locations.

    One more thing I noticed that, The WAN/LAN interface is loading and able to see the certificate details.

    Some units are showing the below login screen but it wont login and not showing the sonicwall logo.

    NB: SSH not enabled in these small units and it's in deployed in remote locations.

  • Hi @AJISHLAL,

    I see. We may need to collect console logs from the appliance when the access doesn't work to identify if there is any hardware related logs and if any, please have this reported to our support team via support case.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi @Saravanan,

    Sonicwall must be enhance the console cable. The new laptops not coming with Serial port and sonicwall wont support any other brand console cables as well.

    Please confirm the below model serial to USB converter, Sonicwall will support or not.


  • Hi @AJISHLAL,

    I'll have your feedback passed on to the corresponding team. Please specify the model of the USB converter that you hold. I can check.

    Hi @Saravanan

    Please find the below details for the converter.

  • Hi @AJISHLAL,

    I have verified this with my resources. Unfortunately, there is no supported list for the USB to serial converters. As far as my research, any USB converter along with SonicWall provided console cable should work.

    Hi @Saravanan,

    Unfortunately I never received / seen any USB to Serial converter from Sonicwall.

    So you mean there is Sonicwall USB to serial converter?

  • Hi @AJISHLAL,

    SonicWall doesn't offer any USB to serial converter. You can use any USB to serial converters. But make sure you use SonicWall provided console cable.

    Hi @Ajishlal , I have seen this happening recently with AV Software installed on the PC the last one was BitDefender, try disabling the AV and see if you can then access the firewall on HTTPS

  • AjishlalAjishlal Community Legend ✭✭✭✭✭
    Hi @preston ,
    I am able to access the unit, if i turn off and ON. So this is not cause of the AV.
