Initial Configuration
21
If you configure the engine with a USB stick, you must set a password
for the
root
account in the Management Client to enable command line
access to the engine. If you want to allow remote access to the engine
using SSH, enable the SSH daemon for the engine in the Management
Client. See the
Administrator’s Guide
for more information.
Proceed to
After Successful Management Server Contact
, on page 27.
If the Automatic Configuration Fails
• If the automatic configuration fails, and you do not have a display
connected, 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 IP addresses you have defined in the Management Client.
• If the configuration with the USB stick still does not succeed, follow
the instructions for the manual configuration, see
Configuring the
Engine with the Configuration Wizard
below.
Configuring the Engine with the Configuration
Wizard
You can use the engine configuration wizard with all Management Center
and Firewall versions. If you have saved the initial configuration on a
USB stick or a floppy disk, you can import it in the configuration wizard
to reduce the need for typing in information.
T
To start the configuration wizard
Turn on the appliance using the power on/off button. The engine
bootup process is shown in the console and, after some time,
the engine configuration wizard starts.
Note –
You can (re)start the engine configuration wizard at any time
using the
sg-reconfigure
command on the engine command line.
