INSTALLATION and CONFIGURATION
Installing the Hardware
Mount the Defense Center in your rack using the instructions included with the rack
mounting kit.
To install the Defense Center:
Connect the power cord to the Defense Center and plug it into a power source.1.
Turn on the Defense Center using the power button on the front panel. 2.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the management interface to a protected network segment. The default 3.
IP address of the management interface is 192.168.45.45 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
Confi gure the management interface as instructed below.4.
Confi guring the Management Interface
Connect the management interface to a secure internal management network that is
protected from unauthorized access.
Use either of two options for specifying the management interface and other network
settings: connect a laptop to the management interface (IPv4 addresses only), or connect a
monitor and keyboard to the Defense Center (IPv4 or IPv6 addresses).
Using the Management Interface
Specify the management interface network settings by connecting a laptop directly to
the management interface.
To confi gure using the management interface:
Using the supplied Ethernet cable, connect the network interface on a local host (for example, a 1.
laptop computer) to the management interface on the Defense Center.
Create an IP alias address for the 192.168.45.0 subnet on the local host, making sure that you do 2.
not use the same IP address as the default IP address of the management interface (192.168.45.45).
Note that each operating system has its own procedure for creating an alias.
Use your web browser to navigate to the Defense Center’s default IP address:3.
https:// 192.168.45.45
The login page appears.
Log into the web interface using4. admin as the user and Sourcefi re as the password and
continue with Performing the Initial Setup on page 3. Note that the password is case-sensitive.

CONFIGURATION (continued) and INITIAL SETUP
Confi guring the Management Interface, continued
Using a Monitor and Keyboard
Specify the management interface network settings by connecting a monitor and
keyboard to the back of the Defense Center.
To confi gure using a monitor and keyboard:
Using the supplied Ethernet cable, connect the management interface on the back of the Defense 1.
Center to a protected management network.
Connect the monitor to the VGA port and the keyboard to one of the USB ports.2.
Log into the command line interface using3. admin as the user and Sourcefi re as the password.
Note that the password is case-sensitive.
Run the following script:4.
sudo /usr/local/sf/bin/confi gure-network
The following prompt (appended with the current value) appears:
Management IP address?
Enter the IP address you want to assign to the management interface or press Enter to accept the 5.
current value. For example:
10.2.2.20
The following prompt (appended with the current value) appears:
Management netmask?
Enter the netmask for the interface’s IP address or press Enter to accept the current value. For 6.
example:
255.255.255.0
The following prompt (appended with the current value) appears:
Management gateway?
Enter the gateway for the interface’s IP address or press Enter to accept the current value. For 7.
example:
10.2.1.1
The following prompt appears:
Are these settings correct: (y or n)?
If the settings are correct, type8. y and press Enter to accept the settings and continue.
If the settings are incorrect, type n and press Enter. You are prompted to enter the information
again.
After you have accepted the settings, log out of the shell.
Performing the Initial Setup
Complete the initial setup through the web interface. To access the web interface, browse
to the IP address you confi gured in the previous procedure.
Refer to the Sourcefi re 3D System Installation Guide for information to guide you through
the start-up pages for the Defense Center.
