Initial Configuration - D-Link NetDefend DFL-2560G Hardware Installation Manual

Initial Configuration

The NetDefendOS software is pre-installed on
the DFL-2560/2560G device. When the device
is powered on, it is ready to be configured.
While the device has a default factory configu-
ration that allow you to initially connect to the
device, you must perform further configuration
for your specific network requirements.
Using the WebUI
To use the WebUI, the workstation from which
you are managing the device must initially be
on the same subnetwork as the device.
Browser
Microsoft Internet
Explorer
Mozilla Firefox
Netscape Navigator 8.0 or higher
Table 5. Browser Compatibility
To access the device with the WebUI:
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect your
workstation to the port labeled 7, which is
pre-allocated to LAN1.
2. Ensure your workstation is configured with
a static IP address in the 192.168.10.0/24
subnet.
Note: Disable pop-up blocking software
or add the management IP address
https://192.168.10.1 to your pop-up
blocker's allow list.
3. Launch your browser; enter the IP
address for the LAN1 interface, then press
Enter. (The factory default IP address is

6  D-Link NetDefend Firewall
Note: DFL-2560/2560G allows either HTTP
or a secure HTTPS connections from any
management host. However, for security
reasons, only a secure HTTPS connection is
allowed by default. For more information about
configuring connections settings, please refer
to the Firewall User Manual.
Step 4
Log into the NetDefend Firewall web interface.
The default login information is:
Version
6.0 or higher
1.0 or higher
Note: The Language drop-down menu allows
you to select a language for the WebUI.
By factory default, NetDefend Firewall only
includes English. You may upload specific
language files from within the WebUI for
additional language support. At the moment,
the Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese
and Traditional Chinese language files are
available.
Using a Console Connection (RS-232 DCE)
The NetDefend Firewall provides an RS-232
serial port that supports a connection to a
computer or console terminal for monitoring
and configuring the device. This port uses a
male DB-9 connector, implemented as a data
communication terminal equipment (DCE)
connection.
To use the console port connection, you need
the following equipment:
1.
Username: admin
Password: admin
