and RJ45 connection is described in
Section 3.5, “RJ45 Console Port Connection”
.
In the default NetWall 6000 Series configuration, login credentials are enabled for the local
console. These are a username of
admin
and a password of
admin
. These credentials come
from the predefined
admin
user, which is also used for SSH and Web Interface access.
Connection to an External Management Computer
For system management using the Web Interface or the CLI via SSH, the firewall's
G1
Ethernet
interface must be connected, across a network or directly, to an Ethernet interface on an external
management computer.
This connection could be made via a local switch using standard Ethernet cables, as shown in the
illustration below.
Alternatively, direct local Ethernet connection to the
G1
interface could be done without a
switch by using a crossover cable. However, all the RJ45 interfaces on the NetWall 6000 Series
support
Automatic MDI-X
so a crossover cable is not necessary.
Connection to an ISP for Internet Access
For access to the public Internet, another 6000 Series Ethernet interface should be selected for
connection to an ISP. In this guide, it will be assumed that the interface
G8
will be used for
connection to the Internet, although another available interface could be used instead. In the
cOS Core setup wizard, this interface used is always generically referred to as the
WAN
interface.
cOS Core setup for Internet access is discussed further in
Chapter 4, cOS Core Configuration
Note that in the default cOS Core configuration for the NetWall 6000 Series, this interface already
has a DHCP client enabled so it can automatically receive an IP addresses from an ISP.
Management Computer Ethernet Interface Setup
Traffic can flow between the designated management computer's Ethernet interface and the
firewall's management interface if they are on the same IP network. This means the management
computer interface should be first assigned the following static values:
•
IP address:
192.168.1.30
•
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
•
Default gateway:
192.168.1.1
