The web console provides a user interface through which users can examine the metrics collected by the system and create customized reports. It is accessed whenever you use a web browser to connect to the IP address or hostname assigned to the appliance.

When you connect to the appliance for the first time, the Setup Wizard is initialized, and guides you through the steps necessary to get the appliance started.
