unused interface could be used instead.
Direct Connection to the Management Interface
Connection to the management interface G1 from the workstation can be done directly without
a switch. This could be done using a crossover cable. However, all the RJ45 interfaces on the X8
support Automatic MDI-X and a crossover cable is not necessary.
Workstation Ethernet Interface Setup
Traffic will be able to flow between the designated workstation interface and the Clavister
Security Gateway interface because they are on the same IP network. This means the workstation
interface should be first assigned the following static IPv4 addresses:
• IP address: 192.168.1.30
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
Tip: Using another workstation interface IP address
The IPv4 address assigned to the management workstation'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.
The following appendices at the end of this guide describe how to set up the management
workstation IP with different operating systems:
• Appendix C, Windows XP IP Setup.
• Appendix D, Windows Vista IP Setup.
• Appendix E, Windows 7 IP Setup.
• Appendix F, Windows 8 IP Setup.
• Appendix G, Apple Mac IP Setup.
