Chapter 4: Testing and Configuration
After logging in, you will be prompted to change the password for the account. Please remember your
password. To change the account password at any time, login to the account and use the command
user
password
.
The
admin
user can reset all account passwords to their factory defaults at any time with the PSESH command
sysconf appliance factory
. This command will also reset the SNMP and network settings to their factory
defaults.
CAUTION!
Executing
sysconf appliance factory
over an SSH connection may cause you
to lose connection with the appliance when the IP address is reset. To avoid this, use a serial
connection instead when using this command.
Run System Test
Before field testing and deployment, run the diagnostic utility. Use
hsm state
to display the current status:
psesh:>hsm state
HSM device 0:
HSM in NORMAL MODE. RESPONDING to requests. Usage Level=0%
State = (0x8000, 0xffffffff)
Host Interface
= PSIe2
Command Result : 0 (Success)
You can also use the PSESH command
status
to check each of the HSM's processes. See the
PSESH
Command Reference Guide
for command syntax.
Network Configuration
The ProtectServer Network HSM is intended to be installed in a data center and accessed remotely over a
network. Network access is provided by two Ethernet LAN ports. The ProtectServer Network HSM is also
equipped with an RJ-45 console port, used to provide serial access to the appliance for initial network
configuration.
The network device interfaces (eth0 and eth1) and console port are located on the front of the appliance, as
illustrated below:
Serial port
Connect a serial device to the ProtectServer Network HSM to perform initial network configuration via PSESH.
Use the console port to configure at least one of the network interfaces. Once you have configured an
interface, you can connect the appliance to the network and access PSESH to complete the network
configuration.
Appliance configuration
The following network parameters are configured at the appliance level:
