Citrix SD-WAN

User interface for SD-WAN 110-SE appliance

A new User Interface (UI) is introduced for SD-WAN appliances - applicable only for SD-WAN 110 devices for 11.1.1 release. The new UI is built using the latest UI technologies.

The new UI design improves the security, has an improved look and feel, it is more performant, secure, and responsive. But the new UI has retained the flow and page layout of each feature from the legacy UI. The new UI is only applicable for the customers who are using SD-WAN 110 appliance.

Note

The New UI can only be accessed by the default admin user (admin). It is mandatory to change the default admin user account password while provisioning the SD-WAN appliance. The default password is the serial number of the SD-WAN 110 device and is mandated to change on first time after logon to device.

Default password

The legacy UI is maintained for backward compatibility and is deprecated. The legacy UI can be accessed using the URL https: // < ip-address >/cgi-bin/login.cgi. The user name and password for the user admin remains the same across both (new/legacy) user interfaces, and first time login procedures can be done using either interface. Additional users will be supported in future versions of new UI.

Citrix SD-WAN new user interface

The new UI can be accessed using Google Chrome (version 81), Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge (version 81+), and Legacy Microsoft Edge (version 44+) browsers.

NOTE

Microsoft Internet Explorer, Apple Safari, and other browsers are not supported.

To access the new UI page, perform the following:

  1. Open a new browser tab and navigate to https: // < management-ip > to access the new UI on SD-WAN 110 appliance.

Note

In the scenario where the In-band management is enabled, the interface IP address can be provided in < management-ip > to access the new UI. The In-band management can be enabled on multiple trusted interfaces that are enabled to be used for IP services. You can access the UI using the management IP and in-band virtual IPs.

  1. The user name field is read-only and is defaulted to admin. Provide the password and click Sign In.

The Citrix SD-WAN user interface page appears.
