Initial Configuration
15
The firewall engine installation is complete when the appliance has
contacted the Installation Server, downloaded the initial configuration,
and contacted the Management Server. The appliance automatically
reboots itself after initial contact with the Management Server. See
After
Successful Management Server Contact
(page 23) for more details.
If the Plug-and-Play Configuration Fails
• If the plug-and-play configuration fails and you had plugged in a USB
stick to the appliance, you can check for the reason in the log
(
sg_autoconfig.log
) written on the USB stick.
• If you see a “connection refused” error message, ensure that the
Management Server IP address is reachable from the engine and
check the settings that you have defined for the firewall engine’s
interfaces in the Management Client. See
Connecting Antennas and
Cables
(page 11) for information on port numbers and
Default Port
Settings
(page 27) for the correct port settings. The port numbers
and settings must match the interface IDs and other interface
settings in the Management Client.
If attempts to connect to the Installation Server through the 3G modem,
DSL port, and Ethernet 0 port have failed, the appliance starts the
connecting process again and retries the ports in the same order (3G
modem, DSL port, and finally Ethernet 0 port). If necessary, you can run
the command
sg-reconfigure --stop-autocontact
on the
engine command line to stop this process. See
Connecting to the Engine
Command Line
(page 25) for information on using the engine command
line.
If plug-and-play configuration continues to fail, you can save the initial
configuration on a USB stick and configure the engine using the
automatic configuration method. See
Configuring the Engine
Automatically
below.
Configuring the Engine Automatically
The automatic configuration requires that you have a suitable
configuration saved on a USB memory stick. See the
Firewall/VPN
Installation Guide
or the
Online Help
of the Management Client for
details.
To configure the engine from a USB memory stick
1.
Insert the USB stick that contains the configuration saved in your
Management Client in one of the USB ports on the appliance.
