Getting Started

Enter and confirm a password for your CyberGuard SG appliance. This is the password
for the user root, the main administrative user account on the CyberGuard SG appliance.
It is therefore important that you choose a password that is hard to guess, and keep it
safe.
The new password takes effect immediately; you are prompted to enter it upon
completing the next step.
The quick setup wizard is displayed.
Hostname: This is the name by which the CyberGuard SG appliance knows itself. For
CyberGuard SG appliances that have network storage or network print server
capabilities, it is also the name that appears when browsing the network from a Windows
PC. Changing the hostname is not typically necessary.
Manual configuration (recommended): Select this to manually specify your CyberGuard
SG appliance’s LAN connection settings.
Note
You must select Manual configuration in order to enable the CyberGuard SG
appliance’s built-in DHCP server. The CyberGuard SG appliance’s DHCP server
automatically configures the network settings of PCs and other hosts on your LAN.
