VMware’s vShield Manager is a virtual appliance which is required for vShield App, Edge and Endpoint. When you’re running vCloud Director you will also need the vShield Manager.
After you deployed the vShield Manager, you have to set the IP address of the manager. The only way to set the IP address is through the command line. Open the CLI of the vShield Manager by opening a console connection in the vSphere (web) Client:
manager login: admin Password: default
Now you have to set the enable mode and enter the setup command:
manager> enable Password: default manager# setup
Now logout and you’re all set!
manager# exit
You can manage the vShield manager using the webinterface at https://IP-ADDRESS-OF-vSHIELD-MANAGER

I have deployed Vshiled manager 5.5 from ovf template.
Login to the console with admin/default user and “enable” and done setup to give new IPs
now i Can ping even gateway from the manager# prompt.
But when i open Interet Explorer or any browser and try to connect to vshiled manager IP as “https://10.10.2.1 ” its not going to the page and telling page not found.
verified IPconfigured correct by “show interface” command as well.
Please help to troubleshoot.

Can you ping the vShield appliance from your workstation? Is there a firewall between your workstation and the vShield appliance?

Hi, exacly the same Problem.
after changing the ip, Internet Explorer not showing the wep Portal with the new ip.
im running the newest Version from August 2014.
Although adding the page in compatibility list.

But.
Try to use one time Firefox or other browser.
Change admin Password in web console and then
ie works again.

I also received the ‘unknown command’ after entering ‘setup’ at the cli (after running ‘enable’)
