Section E: Configuring the SG510 from a Remote
Location
Important: The remote configuration procedure pertains only to 4.2.2.x or
later. If you are running 5.1.1.x or later, you must configure the
SG510 using the front panel, Web Setup Wizard, or serial
console. See
“5.1.1.x—To Configure the SG510 Using the Setup
Wizard” on page 35 and “5.1.1.x—Configuring the SG510 Using a
Direct Serial Port Connection:” on page 47 for more information.
The goal of the remote configuration method is to allow an administrator to
provide the initial configuration settings of an appliance
before the physical
installation of the system. Using the remote configuration method, an
administrator uses an HTML page to specify the initial configuration settings,
which are then embedded into a URL. To configure the appliance, a remote
installer only has to place the appliance into the network and click the generated
URL. After the appliance has its initial configuration, the administrator can finish
configuring the appliance—either remotely or locally.
The remote configuration method is useful in the following circumstances:
• You have appliances destined for multiple locations but do not want to have
to first ship them to a single location for initial configuration.
• The personnel at the remote locations are not technical and cannot be trusted
to properly configure the appliance.
Configuring the SG510 remotely is a two-step process—use the following
procedures if you want to enter the SG510 configuration parameters from a
remote location (Step 1), and then have an on-site administrator place the SG510
into the network and complete the configuration (Step 2).
Step One—Enter the Remote Configuration Parameters Using
a Web Browser
Perform this procedure if you plan to enter configuration parameters for the
SG510 from a remote location and then have an on-site administrator place the
SG510 into the network and complete the configuration.
