Initial Configuration
17
Configuring the Engine Automatically
The automatic configuration requires that you have a suitable
configuration saved on a USB memory stick. See the
Firewall/VPN
Installation Guide
or the
Online Help
of the Management Client for
details.
To configure the engine from a USB memory stick
1.
Insert the USB stick that contains the configuration saved in your
Management Client in one of the USB ports on the appliance.
2.
Turn on the appliance using the power on/off switch. The
appliance automatically imports the configuration from the USB
stick and then tries to make the initial contact to the Management
Server.
•
If the connection is successful, the appliance automatically
reboots itself and the engine configuration is finished.
If you configure the engine with a USB stick, you must set a password
for the
root
account in the Management Client to enable command line
access to the engine. If you want to allow remote access to the engine
using SSH, enable the SSH daemon for the engine in the Management
Client. See the
Administrator’s Guide
for more information.
Proceed to
After Successful Management Server Contact
(page 23).
If the Automatic Configuration Fails
• If the automatic configuration fails, you can check for the reason in
the log (
sg_autoconfig.log
) written on the USB stick.
• If you see a “connection refused” error message, ensure that the
Management Server IP address is reachable from the engine and
check the IP addresses you have defined in the Management Client.
• If the configuration with the USB stick still does not succeed, remove
the USB stick from the USB port, and follow the instructions for the
manual configuration. See
Using the Engine Configuration Wizard
(page 18).
