Initial Configuration
4. Press a key on your keyboard when you see “Press any key”. The
message is shown four times. If you do not press a key within this
time, the serial console remains inactive and you must reboot the
appliance to try again.
5. A boot menu is shown. Select the
Switch to serial console
option.
The appliance boots up with the serial console activated.
• The keyboard and display console is now inactive and must be
activated in a similar way before you can use it.
• To define two active consoles, use the command
sg-bootconfig
. For usage, see “Command Line Tools” in the
Firewall/VPN Reference Guide
,
Administrator’s Guide
or online
help of the Management Client.
There are two ways to configure the engine software.
• You can configure the engine automatically with a USB stick (see
Configuring the Engine Automatically
below).
• If the automatic configuration is not possible or desired, you can use
the engine configuration wizard (see
Configuring the Engine with the
Configuration Wizard
, on page 21).
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.
If you want to check the configuration before it is activated, follow the
instructions in
Configuring the Engine with the Configuration Wizard
, on
page 21, and import the configuration manually.
T
To import and activate a configuration 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.
2. Turn on the appliance using the power on/off button. The
appliance automatically imports the configuration from the USB
stick and then tries to make the initial contact to the Management
Server.
• If the connection is successful, the appliance automatically
reboots itself and the engine configuration is finished.
