Set up a single computer connection
The UTM Firewall device ships with initial network settings of:
• LAN IP address –
192.168.0.1
• LAN subnet mask –
255.255.255.0
The UTM Firewall device needs an IP address suitable for your LAN
before it is connected. You can choose to use the UTM Firewall device
initial network settings as a basis for your LAN settings.
NOTE:
Initial configuration is performed through port
A
. McAfee
strongly recommends you do not connect the UTM Firewall device to
your LAN until this guide instructs you to. If you attach port
A
directly
to a LAN with an existing DHCP server, or a computer running a DHCP
service, the UTM Firewall device automatically obtains an additional
address.
The UTM Firewall device is still reachable at
192.168.0.1
.
All other network ports are by default inactive; that is, they are not
running any network services such as DHCP, and they are not
configured with an IP address.
