We'll highlight the console and SSH in step 1.1. Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode: Īfter the device is booted, a login prompt is displayed in the console connection and SSH or SSL connections can be made to 192.168.1.1. Īfter preparing the cables and the workstation, plug the unit into an electrical outlet and watch the firewall boot up. If you use PuTTY, it should come with the appropriate configuration if connection type is set to Serial.

When using a console cable, set the terminal emulator to 9600baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, parity none, VT100. When using the management port, the workstation you'll be using must be reconfigured so its network interface has an IP address in the 192.168.1.0/24 IP range, as the default IP of the management port will be 192.168.1.1. The two methods available to connect to the new device is either using a network cable on the management port or an ethernet-to-db-9 console cable. The first thing you'll want to configure is the management IP address, which makes it easier to continue setting up your new device later on.
