Introduction to the Management Interfaces
This section describes the two SonicWALL GMS management interfaces. An almost
identical URL is used when accessing either the GMS management interface or the
Universal Management Host system interface, but the URL is modified to specify either
sgms or appliance.
See the following sections:
• “Overview of the Two Interfaces” on page 32
• “Switching Between Management Interfaces” on page 33

Overview of the Two Interfaces
The SonicWALL GMS Universal Management Suite (UMS) installs two separate
management interfaces:
• SonicWALL Universal Management Host (UMH) System Management Interface
– Used for system management of the host server, including registration and
licensing, setting the admin password, selecting the deployment role, and
configuring other system settings.
To access the UMH system management interface on the default HTTP port using a
browser on the host server, use the URL:
http://localhost/appliance/
From another system, access the UMH system management interface with the URL:
http://<IP address>:<port>/appliance/
If you are using the standard HTTP port, 80, it is not necessary to append the port
number to the IP address.
• SonicWALL GMS Management Interface – Used to access the SonicWALL GMS
application that runs on the Windows server. This interface is used to configure GMS
management of SonicWALL appliances, including creating policies, viewing reports,
and monitoring networks, and for configuring GMS administrative settings. The GMS
management interface is only available on systems deployed in a role that runs the
Web Server service, such as the All In One or Console roles.
Access the GMS management interface with one of the following URLs:
http://localhost/sgms/
http://<IP address>:<port>/sgms/
