Performing the Initial Configuration
The first time you turn on power to a Check Point IP2450 appliance, the initial configuration
process begins. This process enables you to configure the network settings and provides access
to the
admin
account.
You can perform the initial configuration in two ways:
Configure a DHCP server to provide the initial configuration information the first time the
appliance is started.
Perform the initial configuration manually by using a console connection.
This chapter describes how to perform the initial configuration manually by using a console
connection. It includes the following sections:
Connecting Power and Turning the Power On
Performing the Initial Configuration
Using Check Point Network Voyager
Using the Command-Line Interface
Using Check Point Horizon Manager
For information about how to use the DHCP client for initial configuration, see the
Read Me
First
document,
Using DHCP to Configure Your Appliance
, included with the appliance.
Note
Check Point recommends that you physically install all network interface cards (NICs),
Accelerated Data Path (ADP) modules, and other hardware components before you perform
the initial configuration procedure this chapter describes. For information about how to install
NICs and ADP modules, see
Chapter 4, “Installing and Replacing Network Interface Cards
