Chapter 4. Setting up the initial firmware configuration
Use the procedures in this section to perform the initial, base firmware
configuration. This configuration is the minimal configuration to add a DataPower
appliance to your environment.
Initializing and configuring IBM WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance
When theDataPower XC10 Appliance hardware has been installed and connected,
you are ready to initialize and configure the appliance.
Before you begin
To perform the initial configuration, you must use a serial connection. The serial
connection must be between an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal
emulation software to the serial port on the appliance. If you are using a PC for
the serial console, you must use a PC-based serial communications program for
Windows or Linux. You can use a dedicated hardware device, such as a
VT100-style console, or a PC running an emulator, such as HyperTerminal or
Minicom. To make this connection, use the provided serial cable.
Note:
1. Use the serial cable that was provided with the appliance. Other serial
cables might not work with the appliance.
2.
If the terminal or PC is not equipped with a serial port, use a
USB-to-serial converter cable.
Before defining the base configuration, gather the following information:
v Whether you are using the 1 gigabit or 10 gigabit Ethernet ports for your data
grid. You must use either all 1 gigabit ports or all 10 gigabit ports. Connect the
management port at
MGMT0 .
v
The IP address and subnet mask for the Ethernet interface for appliance
management access (
MGMT
).
v
The IP address of the default gateways (routers) that supports the subnets for
the Ethernet interfaces.
v
The IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server.
v
Mail server information (to set up email notifications).
v
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server information to enable communication
between the appliances in the collective.
About this task
Use this task to initialize theDataPower XC10 Appliance for the first time. The first
time you sign onto your appliance the process is slightly different from signing on
afterward.
