Installing Security Gateways on Appliances

For a list of supported appliances, see the R80.10 Release Notes.

To start the First Time Configuration Wizard on Gaia:

1. Connect a standard network cable to the appliance management interface and to your management network.
   • The management interface is marked MGMT.
   • This interface is preconfigured with the IP address 192.168.1.1

   Note - Make sure that the management interface on the computer is on the same network subnet as the appliance. For example: IP address 192.168.1.x and Netmask 255.255.255.0
   You can change the interface in the Gaia Portal, after you complete the First Time Configuration Wizard.

To configure Gaia Security Gateway appliances:

To install a Security Gateway:

1. Open a browser to the Gaia Portal: https://<management IP address>
2. In the Gaia Portal window, log in with the administrator name and password that you defined during the Gaia installation.
