3. Network Setup
This chapter describes the Network Setup sections of the web management console.
Here you can configure each of your SG unit’s Ethernet, wireless and serial ports. It is
accessed by clicking Network Setup under the Network Setup section of the main web
management console menu.
The QoS Traffic Shaping and IPv6 sections are also described towards the end of this
chapter.
An Ethernet network interface may be configured to connect to your LAN, DMZ, an
untrusted LAN, or the Internet as a primary, back-up or load-balacing connection. A
serial port may be configured to provide remote dial-in access, or connect to the Internet
as a primary or back-up connection. A wireless interface may be configured to connect
to your LAN, DMZ or an untrusted LAN.
If you are using a SG gateway or rack mount appliance, the section Set up the PCs on
your LAN to access the Internet in the chapter entitled Getting Started describes how to
configure the PCs on your LAN to share the connection once your Internet connection
has been established.
Configuring Connections
Under the Connections tab, each of your SG unit’s network interfaces is displayed,
alongside its physical Port name and the Current Details of its configuration.
Initially, all network interfaces are unconfigured, aside from a single LAN connection on
the initial setup port (switch A on SG rack mount appliances, SG560, SG565 and SG580,
the LAN port on other models).
