The CLI lists the Management IP address and netmask. 

Configure the Transparent mode default gateway 

• 

Login to the CLI if you are not already logged in. 

• 

Set the default route to the Default Gateway that you recorded in 

Transparent mode settings

. Enter: 

set system route number <number> gateway <IP address>

  

Example

  

set system route number 1 gateway 204.23.1.2

  

You have now completed the initial configuration of the DFL-500 NPG and you can proceed to the next 
section. 

Setting the date and time 

For effective scheduling and logging, the DFL-500 NPG date and time should be accurate. You can either 
manually set the time or you can configure the DFL-500 NPG to automatically keep its time correct by 
synchronizing with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. 

To set the DFL-500 NPG date and time, see 

Setting system date and time

. 

Connecting to your network 

When you have completed the initial configuration, you can connect the DFL-500 NPG between your internal 
network and the Internet. 

There are two 10/100 BaseTX connectors on the DFL-500 NPG: 

• 

Internal for connecting to your internal network, 

• 

External for connecting to the Internet. 

To connect the DFL-500 NPG: 

• 

Connect the Internal interface to the hub or switch connected to your internal network. 

• 

Connect the External interface to the Internet. 

Connect to the public switch or router provided by your Internet Service Provider.
