Networks and Interfaces Configuration Form
123
The section of the form called “Getting Started” provides a Minimize Exposure button that
you can click to reduce possible security risks. If you click Minimize Exposure, the system
reports on what it looks for and on any changes that you make during the session. If there
are areas where it cannot make changes that you requested, the unchanged items are
reported too.
You begin configuring your firewall in the “First Time Configuration” section by clicking
Begin Configuration. But before you begin, read “Managing Your Firewall” for some
information regarding direct file editing.
The last part of the introductory management form lists the names of the other browser
forms. A list of links to these forms appears on the menu bar at the bottom of the form so
you can go directly to another form, if you wish. This chapter explains each configuration
form in the order that it appears if you click Begin Configuration on the introductory
management form and then click the Continue button on each form that follows.
Networks and Interfaces Configuration Form
The Gauntlet networks and interfaces configuration form (Figure 17-6 and Figure 17-7)
uses standard Silicon Graphics Network Setup tools to configure network interfaces on
the firewall. If you have not already configured your network setup with these tools, click
Network Setup to configure the firewall hostname, network interfaces, and IP addresses;
click ISDN Setup if you want to configure ISDN. Click PPP Setup if you want to configure
PPP.
Note:
To run the Network Setup tools directly from the Gauntlet forms-based interface,
you must be working at the Gauntlet host console. You can use the Network Setup tools
without the Gauntlet interface from any location.
