3.3. Manual Web Interface Setup
This section describes initial CorePlus configuration performed directly through the Web
Interface, without using the setup wizard. Configuration is done as a series of individual steps,
giving the administrator more direct control over the process. Even if the wizard is used, this
section can also be read as a good introduction to using the Web Interface for configuring key
aspects of CorePlus.
Ethernet Interfaces
The physical connection of external networks to the Clavister Security Gateway is through the
various
Ethernet interfaces which are provided by the hardware platform. On first-time startup,
CorePlus scans for these interfaces and determines which are available and allocates their names.
The first interface detected in the scan always becomes the initial default management interface
and this cannot be changed beforehand.
All CorePlus interfaces are logically equal for CorePlus and although their physical capabilities
may be different, any interface can perform any logical function. With the SG4500 Series, the
ge1
interface is the default management interface. The other interfaces can be used as required. For
this section, it is assumed that the
ge2 interface will be used for connection to the public Internet
and the ge3 interface will be used for connection to a protected, local network.
The Navigation Tree
The Web Interface presents the various components of CorePlus in a tree structure in the
left-hand pane of the browser window.
By clicking on the navigation tree we can expand its nodes to examine and change the
properties of the various
settings , objects and rules that make up a CorePlus configuration. A
simple example of changing a configuration is discussed next.
Setting the Date and Time
Many CorePlus functions rely on an accurate date and time, so it is important that this is set
correctly. To do this, open the
System node in the navigation tree.
If we now click on the Date and Time node in the tree, the properties of the current date and time
settings will appear in the central panel of the Web Interface.
