78 Initializing Symantec Network Security
Serial console initial configuration
To configure your appliance as a slave node, see
“Configuring a slave node using
the serial console”
on page 80.
To configure a master node using the serial console
1
At the
login
prompt in the serial console window, enter
secadm
2
At the
password
prompt, enter
Symantec
3
At the
SNS7100>
prompt, enter
configure
This starts the initial configuration script, which prompts you for
information, as shown in the following steps. To quit at any time, enter
q
.
4
Enter the local IP address of the administration interface:
Type the local IP address of the appliance.
Note:
If this node is not behind a NAT router, the Network Security console
will use the local IP address to connect to the node. Otherwise, it uses the
NAT address that is provided later in the procedure.
5
Enter the netmask for this node:
Type the netmask. The netmask designates the part of the address that
refers to the network, as opposed to the host. A typical netmask is
255.255.255.0
6
Enter the gateway address for this node:
Type the gateway IP address. This is the IP address of the default router on
the local network.
7
Is this the first install for this cluster? [YES/no]
Press
Enter
to take the default, YES, for a master node. The node number is
set to 1.
8
Enter qspproxy port number (default: 62432):
Press
Enter
to accept the randomized default or enter a number between
1024 and 65535.
The qspproxy port number (QSP port number) is used to connect to the 7100
Series node from the Network Security console, and for communication
between nodes in a cluster.
Warning:
Randomly choose a unique number between 1025 and 65535. A
random, unique QSP port number prevents profiling by intruders. All slave
nodes must use the same QSP port number that the master node uses.
9
Enter GMT timezone offset (i.e. +5):
Type the number of hours your time zone differs from Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT). For example, the offset in Tokyo is +9 and the offset in San
Francisco is -8 (PST) or -7 (PDT).
