Basic Configuration Steps
The exact PortMaster configuration steps you follow depend upon the hardware you are
installing and your network configuration. However, the following general configuration
steps are the same for all PortMaster products:
1.
Install the PortMaster hardware and assign an IP address and a password
as described in the installation guide shipped with your PortMaster.
Note – This guide assumes that you have completed Step 1 and does not give details on
hardware installation or IP address assignment.
2.
Boot the system and log in with the administrative password.
You can configure the PortMaster from a terminal attached to the console port, by
an administrative Telnet session, or by a network connection.
