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. At this point, if you
attach the SG unit directly to a LAN with an existing DHCP server, or a PC
running a DHCP service, the SG unit automatically obtains an additional
address. The SG unit is still reachable at 192.168.0.1. All other network
ports are by default inactive. They are not running any network services
such as DHCP, and they are not configured with an IP address.
1 Connect your administrative PC to the SG unit:
– If you are setting up the SG310, attach your PC's network
interface card directly to any LAN port on the SG unit using the
supplied network cable.
– If you are setting up the SG560, SG565 or SG580, attach your
PC's network interface card directly any network port on switch A
(A1 - A4) using the supplied network cable.
2 Modify your PC's network settings to enable communication with the
SG unit. Click Start > (Settings >) Control Panel and double-click
Network Connections. Right-click Local Area Connection and
click Properties.
Note: If there is more than one existing network connection, select the
one corresponding to the NIC to which the SG unit is attached.
3 Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties. The
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box is displayed.
