IDP 75, 250, 800, and 8200 Installation Guide

The system configures your interfaces. The following text appears:

Configuring default route...

The current default route is: X.X.X.X

Do you want to change the default route? (y/n) [n]

9. Type Y, and then press Enter.

The following text appears:

What IP address do you want to configure as default route? [X.X.X.X]

10. Type your default route (gateway address) and press Enter.

The system asks if you want to change the system time.

Configuring system time...

Currently configured time is Wed Jan 18 16:32:32 PST 2006

Do you want to change the system time? (y/n) [n]

11.Type N if the time is correct. If the time is not correct, type Y and follow the prompts to change the system time.

Configuration of the management port is now complete. EasyConfig does not run the next time you log into the sensor.

Using the Management Port to Configure the Sensor

You can choose a simple or advanced configuration for the sensor using the management port.

To connect the dedicated management port:

1.Attach your Ethernet cable to the dedicated management RJ-45 port (MGT) located at the front of the chassis.

2.Connect the other end of your Ethernet cable to a switch or hub (recommended) or to a standalone computer.

Verify that the link LED on the management port is green, indicating a proper connection. (See Table 8 on page 15.)

Connecting Directly Using the Management Port

You can configure your sensor by directly connecting to the management port with a crossover Ethernet cable. The default IP address of the sensor is 192.168.1.1 in the Address or Location box.

To connect directly to the management port:

1. Connect your computer directly to the sensor using an Ethernet cable.
