1 Enter your
appliance
’s fully qualified hostname (for
example, sidewinder. example.com ) .
2 In the external interface area, select how the appliance
should get its external address:
• Obtain an IP address automatically — This option
indicates the
appliance
will use Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain its IP
address from a DHCP server reachable on the
external network.
• Specify an IP address — Type a unique IP address
for the external interface. The Netmask field
autopopulates with a recommended netmask. If the
recommended netmask is incorrect, edit this netmask.
3 In the internal interface area, type a unique IP address
for the internal interface. The Netmask field
autopopulates with a recommended netmask. If the
recommended netmask is incorrect, edit this netmask.

available for entry in this window if the appliance
is obtaining an IP address automatically.
1 In the Primary field, enter the IP address of the DNS
resolver that will handle your appliance ’s DNS requests.
2 [Optional] In the Secondary field, enter the IP address of
an alternate DNS resolver. This resolver can be one of
the following:
• A different primary resolver in another burb (one in the
external burb, one in the internal burb)
• A secondary resolver in the same burb to query if the
DNS server at the first IP address does not respond
3 In the Default route field, enter the IP address of the
router that will handle packets destined for addresses not
in your
appliance ’s routing table.
4 In the Internal Mail Host field, enter the mail host to
which mail addressed to users on your internal network
will be forwarded. You can enter a fully qualified domain
name or an IP address.

the bottom of the window.
