Initial Configuration
During an initial configuration, set up the IP address, netmask, and gateway for BreakingPoint 20.
Additionally, during this process, create a user account that you can use to log on to the Control
Center.
Connect the management ports through a serial or ethernet connection to your network. For a serial
connection, use 115,200 8N1 on your terminal application. For an ethernet connection, BreakingPoint
20 attempts to obtain a DHCP address. If it cannot acquire an address, it uses BreakingPoint 20’s
default settings: IP address 10.10.10.10, netmask 255.255.255.0, and default gateway 10.10.10.1.
When you first access the computer, BreakingPoint 20 guides you through the initial configuration.
