Completing the configuration
Configuration beyond the base configuration is beyond the scope of this document,
though the following steps provide a general outline of the process for defining
your DataPower XC10 appliance:
1. Configure Domain Name System (DNS) servers. You can use the DataPower
XC10 user interface to configure settings to specify the DNS server to be used
by the appliance. For more information about setting up domain name servers,
see the information about managing DNS servers in the information center.
2. Use network time servers. Using an Network Time Protocol (NTP) server for
clock synchronization for the appliance is highly recommended.
3. Set up mail delivery and notifications. E-mail notifications use the SMTP server
you can define. Although not required, you should configure an SMTP server
because password reset is done using e-mail. If a user forgets the password and
an SMTP server is not configured, then that user is not able to receive a new
password. See the information about managing e-mail delivery in the
DataPower XC10 information center for details.
4. Configure logging and auditing. For more information, see the audit reporting
information in the information center.
5.
Download or update firmware. To download or update the DataPower XC10
firmware, you must have appliance administration permissions and you can
use the following general procedure:
a. Browse to the IBM support site to download the firmware image.
b. Upload the firmware image to the appliance.
The appliance is not required to have connectivity to the external internet. For
more information about downloading or updating firmware, see updating the
firmware information in the information center.
