Network And Access Configuration Via Console; Network Configuration; Access To The Web Interface - CheckMK Rail2 Mark I Manual

Check_MK rail2 Mark I - Manual 4 / 57
2.1 Network and access configuration via console
From the status screen, you can get to the configuration menu by pressing the key <F1>.
For starting up the device, you now need to set the network configuration and specify the device pass-
word.
2.1.1 Network configuration
Use this dialogue box to set up the network configuration of the device. The IP-address, netmask and
the optional default gateway will be queried.
In most cases, the device will need to also access network devices outside of its own network segment.
The default gateway must also be configured for this purpose.
Once these values have been entered, the configuration will be activated, meaning the device will be
immediately reachable via the network and at the entered IP address. One way of testing this is to send
a ping from another device in the network.

2.1.2 Access to the web interface

A large part of the device's configuration is carried out via the web interface. Access to this web interface
is protected by a password, the device password, which you need to specify first.
The factory settings do not include a device password, meaning you cannot yet access the web interface.
Press the key <F1> on the status screen and select device password in order to set the password.
Then select the option web interface from the configuration menu to activate the web interface.
