CHAPTER 2 Configure the Luna Appliance for your Network
1.
Connect the ethernet cable to the upper ethernet port on the HSM appliance back panel and use ssh to open a
session on the HSM appliance.
2.
Login as admin.
Test Your Network Configuration
3.
Verify correctness of your network setup by pinging another server (with the lunash
net ping <servername>
command) and having the other server ping this HSM appliance.
Try pinging by IP address, if pinging by hostname is not successful. If your company uses nameservers, but you
are unable to ping by hostname, then verify the “Name Servers” displayed by
net show
.
Note:
Some networks might be configured to reject ICMP ping requests, to prevent certain
types of network attacks. In such a case, the ping command will fail, even if the HSM appliance
is correctly configured. Consult with your network administrator.
4.
Verify your Client’s network configuration by attempting to ping the HSM appliance by hostname and by IP
address, from the Client. Repeat for each Client where the Client Software was installed.
[OPTIONAL]
Once you know your network setup is correct, you can invoke network time protocol. To use NTP,
you must add one or more servers to the HSM appliance's NTP server list, and then activate (enable) the servers.
Use the sysconf ntp command as follows:
Add servers
lunash:> sysconf ntp addserver <hostname-OR-ipaddress>
Activate servers
lunash:> sysconf ntp enable
If you then check your NTP status with , you might see immediate success (return code 0), or you might get an error
message like this...
[myLuna] lunash:>sysconf ntp status
NTP is running
NTP is enabled
