Understanding the Appliance Management Dashboard

The system Dashboard provides access to status and services, configuration settings, and system-level administration tasks.

The Dashboard is the first screen that appears after you log in to the appliance management interface port (:9443). It provides access to various system management settings through a set of tabs at the top of the display.
