Connecting Network Interfaces
Connect at least one network interface to the network to use as the Check Point Network
Voyager system-management interface.
You can also connect the remaining Ethernet interface cables at this point, although you are not
required to do so.
To connect 10/100/1000 Ethernet devices, use a straight-through cable with an RJ-45 connector
to connect to a hub.
For further details, see
You can use Check Point Network Voyager or the command-line interface (CLI) to configure the
remaining network ports on your IP150 appliance. Details about how to use Network Voyager,
the CLI, and Check Point Horizon Manager are provided in the following sections.
Using Check Point Network Voyager
Use Check Point Network Voyager to configure and monitor your appliance.
To open Check Point Network Voyager
1. Open a Web browser on the host you plan to use to configure or monitor your appliance.
2. In the Location or Address field, enter the IP address of the initial interface you configured
for the appliance.
You are prompted to enter the admin username and the password you entered when you
performed the initial configuration.
Note
If the username login screen does not open, you might not have a physical network
connection between the host and your appliance, or you might have a network routing
problem. Confirm the information you entered during the initial configuration and check
that all cables are firmly connected. For more information, see the troubleshooting
section in the installation guide for your appliance.
