Set up IP addresses

To communicate on your network the SnapGear appliance will need an IP address. This is accomplished using the SnapGear Setup Wizard application that ships with your SnapGear CD. If the SnapGear appliance has already been assigned an IP address

Note

The WAN interface is by factory default inactive in that there are no network services such as DHCP in operation, and no IP address is configured. The LAN interface is set up as a DHCP client, and will not initially have an assigned IP address. This is deliberately set to be passive so as not to interfere with your existing LAN. All of this will be configured later in the installation process but to get you up and running the setup.exe application is simply a miniature DHCP server that will give the SnapGear appliance a known IP address. If you use Linux, Unix, Macintosh or another operating system you may either use a DHCP server application to assign an IP address.

The SnapGear Setup Wizard can be run from any PC on the network that is running Windows. To run SnapGear Setup Wizard:

Insert the SnapGear Installation CD into your CD drive.

The Setup Wizard should automatically run, but if not then select Run from the Start menu and type z:\setup.exe (where z is the letter of your CD drive), or use Windows Explorer to find the program.

SnapGear Setup Wizard will install some files onto your PC, then attempt to find your SnapGear appliance on the network. At this point, the installation procedure diverges and a popup window will display either A, B or C.
