hours. Renewing the lease, for example with a management computer restart, may be
necessary to get DNS addresses after they are received on the
WAN1
interface.
Alternatively, DNS addresses could be entered into the management computer
manually.
Management Computer Ethernet Interface Setup
The only requirement for the Ethernet interface used for connection on the management
computer is that DHCP is enabled. cOS Core automatically enables a DHCP server on the
firewall's LAN1 interface and this will allocate the relevant IP address to the management
computer using DHCP.
If the management computer is configured manually, the following settings should be used:
•
IP address:
192.168.1.30
•
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
•
Default gateway:
192.168.1.1
Tip: Using another management interface IP address
The IPv4 address assigned to the management computer's Ethernet interface, could be
any address from the
192.168.1.0/24
network. However, the IP chosen must be
different from
192.168.1.1
which is used by cOS Core's default management interface.
