Task
Ensure that the physical environment that will
host the device has the proper cabling and
ventilation.
Install any required optional modules into the
device.
Install the device on a desktop, or in an
equipment rack.
Once the device is installed, plug the device into
a nearby power source that adheres to the
regulatory requirements outlined in this manual.
Attach a terminal or PC to the device. This will
enable you to configure the device through the
Command Line Interface (CLI).
No default password is assigned to the CLI. For
additional access security, assign a password.
Before attaching equipment to the device, you
need to configure an interface IP address to the
subnet on which the device will be located. Initial
IP address configuration is performed using the
CLI with a direct serial connection. Subsequent
IP address configuration can also be performed
using the CLI through Telnet or SSH.
Once you power on the device, assign IP
addresses to prepare the system for accepting
network equipment.
Test IP connectivity to other devices by pinging
them and tracing routes.
Continue configuring the device using the CLI
through Telnet or SSH. You also can use
IronView Network Manager to manage the
device.
Secure access to the device.
