Actions
1 Switch A should be left at the default setting of 4 LAN
Ports if there is no requirement for multiple Internet links.
It can always be changed later. For the greatest flexibility
in setting up the SnapGear's Quality of Service (QoS)
features, do not configure more than one LAN/DMZ
segment. Using 4 LAN Ports lets you plug up to four
devices directly into the SnapGear. A SnapGear LAN port
can also be expanded by cascading to an additional
switch or hub.
2 Click Next.
Note: QoS is important for the quality of VoIP calls. The
SnapGear's QoS Autoshaper and ToS Packet Priority rules
can prioritize real-time streaming protocols like VoIP.
The last step in the Quick Setup Wizard is the review page. It
is especially important to confirm the new LAN settings. If the
LAN IP address has been moved from the 192.168.0.0/24
network, communication with the PC will cease after the
Finish button is clicked. In this example, all you have to do is
adjust the web address in a Web browser to http://
192.168.0.254.
Remember to plan for any required changes to your PC's
Ethernet configuration prior to clicking the Finish button.
When all changes are complete, click Finish.
The Quick Setup Wizard completes with a page containing
links to the Save/Restore page and the Secure Computing
SnapGear registration site. Assuming the cable modem is
properly configured and attached, you can right-click the
registration link and choose Open in New Window to
register the SnapGear unit (not illustrated here).
Note:
It is good practice to use the register online link
http://my.securecomputing.com to register the unit serial
number, activate Technical Support, and access the SnapGear
Knowledge Base.
