Prerequisites for Running the Management Tool

You need the following:

• An proxy server that has been initialized and is currently running
• A Java-enabled browser, such as Netscape* Navigator* 4.07 (or higher), Netscape Communicator* 4.5 (or higher), or Internet Explorer 4.01 (or higher) running on your workstation
• SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0 (where available) enabled on the browser
• A network or crossover cable connection to the proxy server
• The IP address of the proxy server

Once the appliance has been configured with an IP address and mask, a gateway server, and a DNS server, you can administer it over the network via any client that can communicate with it over IP.

Until you have completed that configuration, however, you must use a crossover cable and a client with the following constraints:

• Client IP address set to 10.1.1.2 (or another available 10-net IP address) with a mask of 255.255.255.255
• Client gateway address set to 10.1.1.1 (the management address of the appliance)
• Client DNS server address set to 10.1.1.1
