If you are new to the Sidewinder Network Gateway appliance, Secure
Computing recommends you spend some time reviewing network perimeter
security concepts and basic issues relevant to integrating a Sidewinder
appliance into your existing network. Here are a few suggestions to get you
started:
•
Prepare a diagram that indicates where you will place appliances in your
existing network. Include routers, mail servers, web servers, FTP servers,
and DNS machines. Also include all internal or partner networks and their
routes. This will help you organize your network information.
•
Use the free Sidewinder training available online from Secure Computing.
Tutorials walk you through different administration tasks. Access the
training at:
www.securecomputing.com/training_sidewinder.cfm
•
Install an SSH client on your computer. An SSH client can be used to
provide secure command line access to the appliance.
Tip:
For information on training, network services consultations, and technical
support options, contact Secure Computing Customer Service at +1.888.683.3030.
