Host Configuration
The Host Configuration dialog configures the host name and host location. You also have the option to
configure the host management port.
CAUTION: Do not configure the host management port unless you have been specifically
instructed to do so by technical support.
Example
In this example, the host management port is not configured, and the host name is set as device11 in
the location lab.
The host management port is used to configure and monitor this device via
a network connection (e.g., a web browser).
Have you been directed by technical support to configure
the management port? <Y,[N]>:N
Enter Host Name [myhostname]: device11
Enter Host Location [room/rack]: lab
Host Name: device11
Host Location: lab
Enter [A]ccept, [C]hange, or [E]xit without saving [C]: A
Timekeeping Options
The Timekeeping Options dialog configures the X family device clock. You can configure the following
options.
X Family CLI Reference V 2.5.1 7
Chapter 1. X Family Startup Configuration
Time Zone
The time zone option calculates and shows the local time. System logs are kept in Universal Time
(UTC), but the device calculates local time for display purposes. Entering the proper time zone enables
the device to display local time properly.
Daylight Saving Time
The daylight saving time option enables and disables the calculation of time based on the time of year.
NTP
The X family device can keep time using its internal CMOS clock or it can use a Network Time Protocol
(NTP) server.
Note: Use the show ntp session and sshow stp status commands to inspect
the operation of the NTP protocol.
NTP Server
Configuring a host as an NTP server causes the X family device to query that host to obtain
information on the current time. If multiple time servers are specified, the device aggregates data from
all available servers to calaculate the best time estimate. Providing multiple sources improves both the
reliability and accuracy of the time data.
NTP Peer
Configuring a host as an NTP peer causes the X family device to both send time information to and
receive time information from the host. This allows multiple devices to mutually exchange time
information, allowing for a higher resilience against the failure of one or more time servers.
Date and Time
If you are not using NTP, you must specify the current date and time.
Example
In this example, the time zone is set to Central Standard Time (CST), Daylight Saving Time changes are
enabled, and NTP is not enabled. The default date is accepted, and the current time is entered
manually:
Timekeeping options allow you to set the time zone, enable or
disable daylight saving time, and configure or disable NTP.
Would you like to modify timekeeping options? <Y,[N]>: y

Network Deployment Configuration
Enter [A]ccept, [C]hange, or [E]xit without saving [C]: A
Network Deployment Configuration
The Network Deployment Configuration dialog selects the type of network deployment that the X
family device will use. The following deployments are available:
• Routed mode: All IP subnets are unique, and addressees that traverse to the WAN zone may be
subject to Network Address Translation (NAT).
• NAT mode: Hosts in the LAN zone run in a private IP address range, and hosts in the WAN zone run
in a public IP address range. Addressees that traverse to the WAN zone may be subject to Network
Address Translation (NAT).
• Transparent (Layer 2) mode: Firewalls are enforceable between security zones, but all zones are are
in the same broadcast domain.
NAT mode and Routed mode require internal and external virtual interfaces (VIs). The device has a
single internal VI and a single external VI configured by default. Virtual Interface Configuration is
discussed in detail in “
Virtual Interface Configuration” on page 9.
Example
The X-Series device may be configured into a number of well known
network deployments.
Would you like to modify the network deployment mode? <Y,[N]>:y
Please choose a network deployment option:
1) Routed mode
2) NAT mode
3) Transparent (layer 2) mode
Please Select []: 1
Virtual Interface Configuration
The virtual interface dialog of the initial setup wizard modifies the configuration of the internal and
external interfaces and includes IP allocation, IP subnet, default gateway, and enabling or disabling
NAT.
Example
In this example, the default interface IP addresses are reviewed and accepted:

Basic Security Zone Configuration
The Security Zone dialog modifies the basic configuration of security zones, which divide your
network into logical security domains. Network traffic between security zones is routed and scanned
by the firewall and the IPS policies that you create.
In the setup process, you can assign security zones to different ports. You can change the zone
configuration at any time afterwards.
Example
In this example, a new security zone called MyZone is created:
Security zones enable you to section your network logically into security
domains. As network traffic travels between zones, it is routed and securityscanned by th e fi re wa ll an d I PS a cc or din g to th e po li cie s yo u d ef in e. Y ou ne ed

Enabling SMS Configuration
Enabling SMS Configuration
The SMS Configuration dialog enables or disables configuration of the device by a Security
Management System (SMS). If you enable this feature, you will be prompted to enter the IP address of
the SMS device that you want to manage the X family device. The X family device will initiate a call to
the SMS to begin the acquisition of the configuration files.
Note: The SMS must be correctly configured to enable remote deployment to the
device. For detailed information about the SMS and remote deployment, see “X
Family Remote Deployment” in the SMS User’s Guide.
By default, the external virtual interface on the X family device uses DHCP to acquire a dynamic IP
address from a DHCP Server. You do not need to make any changes to the default setting when you
enable SMS configuration. Additional configuration will be required if you use other external IP
address options such as static, PPPoE, PPTP, or L2TP. The following example assumes that the X family
device is using the default external virtual interface settings.
Example
SMS-based configuration allows the device to retrieve the
configuration for a secure management VPN to the SMS system.
This ensures that the device can be managed securely from the
SMS
Would you like to enable SMS-based configuration? <Y,[N]>:y

X Family CLI Reference V 2.5.1 13
Chapter 1. X Family Startup Configuration
When the SMS is on a different site than the device, a potential
misconfiguration in the SMS may result in the loss of remote
management access to the device. To protect against this you can
enable a firewall rule to allow SSH and HTTPS access into the
device from the WAN security zone and the internet. This rule
will only be enabled after the SMS has timed out trying to
acquire the device. During the time the firewall rule is
enabled, management access to the device will be available to
any IP address on the internet providing the correct username
and password.
Would you like to enable WAN access on SMS configuration
failure? <Y,[N]>: N
Web, CLI, and SNMP Server Options
The Web, CLI, and SNMP Server Options dialog turns the X family device servers on and off. You
should always use the secure Web and CLI servers (HTTPS and SSH) when conducting normal
operations. You should only use the non-secure (HTTP) servers for troubleshooting if you cannot get
the secure alternatives running for some reason.
Note: You do not need to run any servers if you want to control the X family
device only through the serial port, but you will be unable to manage filters
without servers. You can turn off all servers by using the following commands:
• conf t server no http
• conf t server no https
• conf t server no ssh
• conf t sms no v2
You must reboot the device for changes to HTTP or HTTPS to take effect.
Secure and Non-Secure Operation
You can enable the secure and non-secure servers for the CLI (SSH and HTTP). You cannot enable both
the secure and non-secure servers for the Web. This is to prevent inadvertent security lapses within
your network security infrastructure. In practical terms, this means that if you enable the HTTPS
server, the HTTP server is disabled.
SMS Operation
The HTTPS server is required for SMS management. The implication of this is that if you will be using
the SMS to manage the devices, you cannot run the non-secure HTTP server.

Web, CLI, and SNMP Server Options
Default Server Settings
The default settings of the Web, CLI, and SNMP servers are:
Table 1–5: Default Web, CLI, and SNMP Server Options

Note: You can use the CLI
reboot
command to reboot the X family device if
you modify settings for which a reboot is required.
SSH Server
The SSH Server enables encrypted terminal communications. The SSH server must be enabled to
establish a secure CLI session over your network.
HTTPS Server
The HTTPS web server enables encrypted file transfers over the network. The HTTPS server must be
enabled to use SMS management. You can also run the LSM using the HTTPS server.
HTTP Server
You can enable the HTTP server to run non-secure LSM sessions on your network.
CAUTION: HTTP is not a secure service. If you enable HTTP, you endanger the security of
the X family device. Use HTTPS instead of HTTP for normal operations.
SNMP Server
The SNMP Server provides access to interface counters and other statistics, configuration data, and
general system information via the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The SNMP server
must be enabled to use SMS management or to allow NMS access.
Example
The Server Options dialog follows:
Server options allow you to enable or disable each of the
following servers: SSH, , HTTPS, HTTP, and SNMP.

conf t remote-syslog
The configure terminal remote-syslog command configures a remote syslog server to record device
attack and block messages. Many operating systems and third-party remote syslog packages provide
the ability to receive remote syslog messages.
Note: Designating a remote syslog server does not automatically send attack and
block notifications to that server. You must also select the Remote System Log
contact by going to the Filters/Vulnerability filters/Action Sets area in the LSM
and either creating or editing an action set. After you apply these changes, active
filters that are associated with this action set will send remote messages to the
designated server.
CAUTION: Only use remote syslog on a secure, trusted network. Remote syslog, in
adherence to RFC 3164, sends clear text log messages using the UDP protocol. It does not
offer any additional security protections. You should not use remote syslog unless you can
be sure that syslog messages will not be intercepted, altered, or spoofed by a third party.
delete ip port

enables configuration of the device by a primary and optional secondary SMS device,
specified by IP address. When the command is executed, the device will initiate a call to the
SMS to begin the acquisition of the configuration files. conf t sms no remote-deploy
disables the remote deployment.
When the SMS is on a different site than the device, a potential misconfiguration in the SMS
may result in the loss of remote management access to the device. To protect against this, you
can use -fallback to enable a firewall rule to allow SSH and HTTPS access into the device
from the WAN security zone and the Internet. This rule will only be enabled after the SMS
has timed out trying to acquire the device. While the rule is enabled, management access to
the device is available from any IP address on the Internet providing the correct username
