3 – Configuration 31

Caution

Closing GBAdmin without clicking SAVE will cause the entered data to be lost, and your firewall will remain in default configuration. You will need to re-connect to the firewall and re-enter the network information.

2)Once you have completed the Network Information form, apply the changes by clicking SAVE. The firewall will then join the assigned network. Close GBAdmin.

Note

If you changed the IP of network interface 0’s protected network, the firewall will now be on a different logical network than your computer, and you will not be able to access the firewall from your computer. You must restore your computer’s original network settings to access the firewall again.

Re-configuring Your Computer

If you temporarily changed your computer’s network configuration to connect to the firewall, restore the original configuration now. If you formed a temporary peer network during network configuration, disassemble it now; reconnect your computer and the firewall to your network. Now your computer and firewall should both be members of your network. Reboot your computer if necessary to affect the network configuration change.

Accessing the Firewall

Access the firewall using the IP address you assigned to the protected network interface.

The firewall should now be active and functioning in default security mode (all internal users are allowed outbound and no unsolicited inbound connec- tions are allowed). You can now perform any additional configuration tasks.

Configuration Using the Serial Console

Use this user interface only if you have installed the serial version of the GB-Ware runtime.

Because the factory network information settings on the GB-Ware firewall are unlikely to match your existing network, your firewall will not automati- cally join your network. You will need to temporarily join a computer to the firewall using a null-modem serial cable. This allows you to configure the firewall’s network settings to match the local area network (LAN) address scheme. Then you may add the firewall to your network and connect remotely (by web or GBAdmin).

Note

The serial console user interface is suitable for initial firewall network interface configuration. It cannot, however, perform some of the more advanced firewall configuration tasks.
