Configuration
Method
Description
Front Panel Use the front-panel LCD and buttons.
(This is the quickest and easiest way to do a first-time configuration.)
In addition to manually configuring the basic settings, you can use
the front panel to configure access to the Web Setup Wizard or to
register with the Director.
To use the option card Ethernet ports instead of the onboard
Ethernet ports, you must use the serial console set up to specify an IP
address for adapter 2. You cannot specify an IP address for adapter 2
from the front panel.
To use the front panel method, go to
Section A: “Initial
Configuration Using the Front Panel
on page 23.
Serial Setup
Console Use a direct connection between the system and a PC, or a serial
terminal, or a stand-alone serial console terminal.
Use this option of you would like to configure the option card
Ethernet ports instead of the onboard Ethernet ports.
To use the serial console connection, go to
Section C: “Initial
Configuration Using a Serial Console
on page 34.
Web Setup Wizard Use a Web browser. Before you use this method, you must first
configure the IP address of the SG810 using the serial console or
front panel. Blue Coat recommends using the Web browser
configuration method if you need to immediately configure traffic
interception or ADN settings.
To use the Web browser configuration method, go to
Section B:
“Initial Configuration Using the Web Setup Wizard
on page 30.
Director
Registration To use this method you might:
• Use a direct serial port connection between the SG810 and a PC.
• Open a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal.
• Use the front panel buttons.
You can use this method if you have a Blue Coat 510 Director. The
Director allows you to configure an SG appliance and automatically
register it with the Director.
To use the Director Registration method, go to
Section D:
“Configuring the SG810 Using Director Registration
on page 48.
