The Initial Installation Guide explains how to initialize an appliance and configure forward proxy services using the browser-based tool. The following procedures explain how to complete this task from the command line:
Start a Telnet session on the client machine.
For help starting a Telnet session, see Starting a Telnet Session.
The starting address for Telnet should be 10.1.1.1, which is the address of eth0 on the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Versions later than 1.0 have no default password for Telnet access. Telnet is not secure unless a password is set for the Config user. (Telnet doesn't provide View user access.)
We strongly recommend you set system passwords as part of the initialization process. For more information, see Password Dialog Box.
Telnet always prompts for a password. If you have not set a password for the Config user, enter a null password by pressing Enter.
After logging in to Telnet, you see the following prompt:
System Console> At the System Console prompt, enter the following:
set eth1 address=iii.iii.iii.iii, mask=mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm
set dns server=ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd
set dns domain=x
set gateway nexthop=ggg.ggg.ggg.ggg, metric=t
apply
The variables are i = the IP address, m = the subnet mask, d = the DNS server IP address, x = your domain name, g = the gateway IP address, and t = the number of hops to the next hop.
(Optional) Configure the appliance to provide forward proxy service.
At the System Console prompt, enter the following:
add forward address=iii.iii.iii.iii
apply
The variable i = the IP address you entered in Step 2.
The appliance is now configured to begin providing forward proxy service. To configure client browsers to use the forward proxy service, see the Initial Installation Guide.
If the appliance has a monitor attached, you will notice that commands issued through a Telnet connection are echoed on the appliance monitor.
If you get a message asking whether you want the X-session displayed on a display other than the default, you have selected the wrong terminal type. Click Connect > click Disconnect > repeat the connection procedure starting with Step 9 and ensuring you have selected the VT100 terminal type in Step 10.
