Overview This guide walks you through the installation of your SnapGear (SG) unit. Installing SnapGear into a well-planned network is quick and easy. As network planning is outside the scope of this guide, take some time to plan your network prior to installing the SnapGear unit.
Step 1– Unpack the SG unit In addition to this document, check that you have the following items included with your SG unit: • Power cable • Power adaptor • SG CD • Network cable Take a few minutes to get familiar with the SG unit. On the rear panel of the SG unit, there are network, serial, and possibly USB ports, an erase button, and a power inlet. The front panel of the SG unit contains activity LEDs (lights).The status LEDs provide information on the operating status of the SG unit.
Step 3 – Set up a single PC to connect to the SG unit The SG unit ships with initial network settings of: • LAN IP address: 192.168.0.1 • LAN subnet mask:255.255.255.0 The SG unit needs an IP address suitable for your LAN before it is connected. You can choose to use the SG unit's initial network settings as a basis for your LAN settings. Important: Secure Computing strongly recommends you do not connect the SG unit to your LAN until this guide instructs you to.
Note: IP addresses and screen captures in this document are intended as examples. They do not represent a proper or complete configuration, nor the configuration that is appropriate to your needs. 4 Select Use the following IP address and enter: – IP address: 192.168.0.100 – Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 – Default gateway: 192.168.0.1 5 Select Use the following DNS server addresses and enter Preferred DNS server: 192.168.0.1 6 Click OK and Close.
Step 4 – Set up SG's password and LAN connection settings Launch your Web browser and navigate to 192.168.0.1. Note: If you are unable to browse to the SG unit at 192.168.0.1, or are not accepted, reset the SG unit to the factory default by pressing the erase button on the unit's rear panel twice within 3 seconds, 1 second apart. Wait 20 - 30 seconds, and then try browsing to 192.168.0.1 again. The SnapGear Management Console page appears. . 1 Click the Quick Setup Wizard link in the center of the page.
. 4 Enter and confirm a new password for your SG unit. This is the password for the user root, the main administrative user account on the SG unit. It is important you choose a password that is hard for others to guess, and that you keep the password safe. 5 Click Submit. An action successful message is displayed, and the LAN page of the quick setup wizard appears. The new password takes effect immediately. You are prompted to enter the new password when completing the next step. .
7 Select an option for your LAN configuration: – [Recommended] To manually configure your LAN and optionally enable the SG unit's built-in DHCP server, which automatically configures the network settings of PCs and other hosts on your LAN, select Manual configuration. – To use the SG unit's initial network settings (see page 5) as a basis for your LAN settings, and not use the SG unit's built-in DHCP server, select Skip: LAN already configured.
9 Enter an IP address and Subnet Mask for the SG unit's LAN connection. Take note of the IP address and subnet mask; you will need them later on. 10 To enable the SG unit's built-in DHCP server, enter a range of addresses in DHCP Server Address Range. PCs and other hosts on your LAN set to automatically obtain network settings are assigned an address from this range, and use the SG unit as their gateway to the Internet, and as their DNS server for Internet domain name resolution.
13 Click Next. The page that appears depends on the selection you made on the ISP Connection page: – If you selected Cable Modem, Modem, or ADSL, configuration pages for those options are presented for you to complete. Refer to the on-screen instructions, the online help, and the SnapGear Administration Guide for more details. When you finish entering your details, the next page that appears depends on the SnapGear model you are setting up.
14 Select an option for the ISP connection. – Select DHCP if you plan to use a DHCP server already in use on your LAN. – [Recommended] Select Manual configuration to manually configure the WAN address using static parameters. 15 Click Next. – If you chose DHCP, and you are setting up an SG310, the Confirm Settings page appears. Continue to “Step 6 – Confirm settings; connect the SG unit to your LAN” on page 15. For all other desktop models, the Switch Configuration page appears.
17 Enter the Subnet Mask to use for the WAN port. 18 [Optional] Set the default Gateway Address. 19 [Optional] Set the IP address of the Domain Name Server (DNS). 20 Click Next. – The Switch Configuration page appears for most models. In this case, go to “Step 5 – Configure the switch” on page 14. – If you are setting up a SG310, the Confirm Settings page appears. Go to “Step 6 – Confirm settings; connect the SG unit to your LAN” on page 15.
Step 5 – Configure the switch This page displays if you are setting up the SG560, SG565 or SG580. If you are setting up a different model, skip to “Step 6 – Confirm settings; connect the SG unit to your LAN” on page 15. By default, the SG unit's switch A behaves as a conventional switching hub. However, it may be configured so that each port behaves as if it were physically separate from the others. 1 Select a configuration for the SG unit's switch. .
Step 6 – Confirm settings; connect the SG unit to your LAN Review your configuration selections. If you are satisfied with your settings, click Finish to activate the new configuration. . Note: If you changed the SG unit's LAN connection settings, you may not be able to contact it at this point. The following describes how to set up the PCs on your network to access the SG unit and the Internet.
Step 7 – Set up the PCs on your LAN Each PC on your LAN must now be assigned an appropriate IP address, and have the SG unit's LAN IP address designated as its gateway and DNS server. A DHCP server allows PCs to automatically obtain these network settings when they start up. If your network does not have a DHCP server, you may either manually set up each PC on your network, or set up the SG unit's DHCP server.
Step 7a – Automatic LAN configuration using the SG DHCP server By selecting Manual Configuration for the SG unit's LAN connection, and supplying the DHCP Server Address Range, the SG unit's DHCP server is already set up and running. Each PC on your LAN must now be set up to automatically obtain network settings. 1 Click Start > Settings > Control Panel and double-click Network Connections.
Step 7b – Automatic LAN configuration using an existing DHCP server If you chose the Obtain LAN IP address from a DHCP server on LAN option, we strongly recommend that you add a lease to your existing DHCP server to reserve the IP address you chose for the SG unit's LAN connection.
Step 7c – Manual LAN configuration Click Start > Settings > Control Panel, and then double-click Network Connections. If presented with multiple connections, right-click on Local Area Connection (or appropriate network connection) and select Properties. 1 Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). 2 Click Properties. 3 Enter the following details: – IP address. An IP address that is part of the same subnet range as the SG unit's LAN connection (for example, if using the default settings, 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.
