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.
