CyberGuard SG Rack Mount Appliances
Set up a PC to Connect to the Web Management Console
The CyberGuard SG appliance ships with initial, static IP settings of:
IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Note
Initial configuration is performed through a port on network switch A (A1 – A4). All other
interfaces are by default inactive, i.e. there are no network services such as DHCP in
operation, and no IP address is configured.
If you attach A1 – A4 directly to a LAN with an existing DHCP server, or a PC running a
DHCP service, before performing the initial setup steps described below, it will
automatically obtain an additional address. Your CyberGuard SG appliance will still be
reachable at 192.168.0.1.
The address you use when navigating to the unit (as described Set up the CyberGuard
SG appliance's password and LAN connection settings) will be used as the CyberGuard
SG unit’s LAN interface address and the other will be discarded.
Your CyberGuard SG appliance will need an IP address suitable for your LAN before it is
connected. You may choose to use the CyberGuard SG appliance’s initial network
settings as a basis for your LAN settings.
Connect the supplied power cable to the power inlet on the rear panel of the CyberGuard
SG appliance and turn on the rear panel power switch.
Connect one of the ports of network switch A (A1 – A4) directly to your PC’s network
interface card using the straight through cable (blue).
Next, you must modify your PC’s network settings to enable it to communicate with the
CyberGuard SG appliance.
