Initial Configuration

This page covers the first-time setup of the MetaDefender Industrial Firewall: connecting to the web interface, signing in, changing the default password, setting the management IP address, and applying your license.

Accessing the Web Interface

  1. Default IP address: The appliance's factory-default management IP is 10.10.10.10/24.

  2. Configure your PC: Set your computer to the same subnet, for example 10.10.10.20/24.

  3. Open the web interface: Browse to https://10.10.10.10.

Note: Contact OPSWAT support if you do not have the default username and password.

Changing the Default Password

Global Setting > Device Setting > Settings > Authentication > User Accounts

For security, change the default password immediately after your first login.

  1. Go to Global Setting > Device Setting > Authentication and open the System tab.

  2. In User Accounts, select your account and click Reset Password.

  3. Enter and confirm a new password.

  4. Click Submit.

Setting the Management IP Address

Global Setting > Device Setting > Settings > Network > IP Configuration

The management interface uses 10.10.10.10/24 by default. To change it for your network:

  1. Go to Global Setting > Device Setting > Settings > Network tab > IP Configuration.

  2. Select the management port and set its IP address, netmask, and gateway, or enable DHCP.

  3. Click Submit.

Note: Changing the management IP ends your current session. Reconnect at the new address.

Applying a License

Global Setting > Device Setting > License

  1. Go to Global Setting > Device Setting > License.

  2. Click Action > Update License.

  3. Upload your license file and click Submit.

The License page shows your active license tier (Standard or GE).
