CyberGuard SG Gateway Appliance Quick Setup
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
Your CyberGuard SG appliance needs a suitable IP address before it is connected to
your LAN. You may choose to use the CyberGuard SG appliance’s initial network
settings as a basis for your LAN settings.
Connect the supplied power adapter to the CyberGuard SG appliance.
• If you are setting up the SG300, attach your PC’s network interface card directly to
any of its LAN switch ports.
• If you are setting up the SG565, attach your PC’s network interface card directly any
port on switch A (A1 – A4).
• Otherwise, connect the CyberGuard SG appliance’s LAN Ethernet port directly to your
PC’s network interface card using the crossover cable (red or gray).
Note
At this point, if you attach the CyberGuard SG appliance directly to a LAN with an existing
DHCP server, or a PC running a DHCP service, it automatically obtains an additional
address. Your CyberGuard SG appliance is still be reachable at 192.168.0.1.
You may attach the CyberGuard SG appliance directly to your LAN at this point, however
before doing so, it is critical that you ensure there are no other devices or PCs on
the LAN with an address of 192.168.0.1.
All other network ports are by default inactive, i.e. they are not running any network
services such as DHCP, and they are not configured with an IP address.
