Before you begin
Before you start the initial setup, the device includes some default settings. For details, see Default Configuration
Prior to Initial Setup, on page 26.
Procedure
Step 1 Connect the Interfaces, on page 12
Step 2 Complete the Initial Configuration Using the Setup Wizard, on page 23
For details about the resulting configuration, see Configuration After Initial Setup, on page 29.
Connect the Interfaces
The default configuration assumes that certain interfaces are used for the inside and outside networks. Initial
configuration will be easier to complete if you connect network cables to the interfaces based on these
expectations.
The default configuration for most models is designed to let you attach your management computer to the
inside interface. Alternatively, you can also directly attach your workstation to the Management port. The
interfaces are on different networks, so do not try to connect any of the inside interfaces and the Management
port to the same network.
Do not connect any of the inside interfaces to a network that has an active DHCP server. This will conflict
with the DHCP server already running on the inside interface . If you want to use a different DHCP server
for the network, disable the unwanted DHCP server after initial setup.
The following topics show how to cable the system for this topology when using the inside interfaces to
configure the device.
