Enter an

IP address

and

Subnet mask

for your CyberGuard SG appliance’s LAN

connection.

You may choose to use the CyberGuard SG appliance’s initial network

settings if you are sure no other PC or network device already has the address of

192.168.0.1.

The

IP address

will later be used as the gateway address for the PCs on your LAN.

To

gain access through this gateway, the PCs on your LAN must have an IP address within

the bounds of the subnet described by the CyberGuard SG appliance’s IP address and

subnet mask (e.g. using the CyberGuard SG appliance’s initial network settings,

192.168.0.2 – 192.168.0.254).

Take note of this IP address and subnet mask, as you will need them later on.
