Specifications

first time, a setup wizard runs automatically to guide a new user through key setup steps. The
wizard can be closed if the administrator wishes to go directly to the Web Interface to
perform setup manually.
The wizard is recommended for its simplification of initial setup and is described in detail in
Section 3.2, “Web Interface and Wizard Setup”.
• Through a terminal console using CLI commands.
The setup process can alternatively be performed using console CLI commands and this is
described in Section 3.4, “CLI Setup”. The CLI allows step by step control of setup and should
be used by administrators who fully understand both the CLI and setup process.
CLI access can be remote, across a network to a physical interface using a similar connection
to that used with the Web Interface. Alternatively, CLI access can be through a console
connected directly to the local RS-232 port on the SG3200 Series hardware. Direct console
connection is described in Section 2.2, “Console Port Connection”.
Network Connection Setup
For setup using the Web Interface via a web browser or the CLI via SSH, we must first connect an
Ethernet interface on an external workstation computer to an Ethernet interface on the SG3200
Series, as illustrated below.
The default management Ethernet interface for the SG3200 Series is ge1 and this should be
connected to the same network as the management workstation (or a network accessible from
the workstation via one or more switches). Typically the connection is made via a switch in the
network, as shown in the illustration above, using regular Ethernet cables.
For connection to the public Internet, another interface should be connected to your ISP and this
is referred to below and in the setup wizard as the WAN interface. In this guide, it is assumed that
the physical ge2 interface of the SG3200 Series is used for Internet connection although it could
be any other unused interface.
