TNSR software is available pre-installed on Netgate hardware or as a Bare Metal Image (BMI) for use on Commercial
Off the Self (COTS) hardware or in virtual environments. For quotes, updates, and more information about TNSR,
please visit tnsr.com or contact TNSR sales.
General System Requirements
• 64-bit x86 processor with SSE4.2 extensions
• Minimum of 4GB RAM for basic routing functionality
RAM requirements increase significantly if the installation will need to handle large volumes of connections,
large volumes of routing data (e.g. full BGP feeds), or multiple worker threads.
See also:
See Memory Usage and Tuning for information on how to determine optimal memory sizes based on what the
router must handle.
• Minimum of 20GB Storage
• Minimum of two network interface ports, three network interface ports recommended (two for dataplane, one
for management)
• Option to disable Secure Boot if using UEFI, as it is incompatible with the TNSR dataplane
Compatibility
TNSR is a platform for high-speed packet processing, delivered as services that run on top of an operating system.
TNSR 21.11 and later are based on Ubuntu, currently the 20.04 LTS release for x86 processors. This platform has
been tested by Netgate, so that means most compatibility questions can be resolved by checking whether the hardware
can run Ubuntu Linux 20.04.

Getting Started
Use the following steps to configure the TNSR Secure Router.
1. To configure the Network Interfaces and gaining access to the Internet, follow the instructions provided in the
Zero-to-Ping documentation.
Note: Not all steps in the Zero-to-Ping documentation will be necessary for every configuration scenario.
2. Once the Host OS is capable of reaching the Internet, check for updates (Updating TNSR) before proceeding.
This ensures the security and integrity of the router before TNSR interfaces are exposed to the Internet.
3. Finally, configure the TNSR instance to meet the specific use case. The topics are listed on the left column of
the TNSR Documentation site. There are also TNSR Configuration Example Recipes that might be of assistance
when configuring TNSR.

the host OS and not available in TNSR. Though technically optional, the best practice is to have one for accessing and
updating the host OS.

Connecting to the Console Port
This guide shows how to access the serial console which can be used for troubleshooting and diagnostics tasks as well
as some basic configuration.
There are times when directly accessing the console is required. Perhaps GUI or SSH access has been locked out, or
the password has been lost or forgotten.
Install the Driver
AProlific PL2303 USB-to-UART Bridge driver is used to provide access to the console, which is exposed via the
USB Mini-B (5-pin) port on the appliance.
If needed, install an appropriate Prolific PL2303 USB to UART Bridge driver on the workstation used to connect
with the device.
Windows
There are drivers available for Windows available for download.
macOS
There are drivers available for macOS available for download.
Linux
There are drivers available for Linux available for download.
FreeBSD
Connect a USB Cable
Next, locate an appropriate USB cable that has a USB Mini-B (5-pin) connector on one end and a regular USB Type
Aplug on the other end. These cables are commonly used with smaller USB peripherals such as GPS units, cameras,
and so on.
Gently push the USB Mini-B (5-pin) plug end into the console port on the appliance and connect the USB Type A
plug into an available USB port on the workstation.
Tip: Be certain to gently push in the USB Mini-B (5-pin) connector on the device side completely. With most cables
there will be a tangible “click”, “snap”, or similar indication when the cable is fully engaged.
Apply Power to the Device
On some devices when using a USB serial console port the serial port will not appear on the client operating system
until the device is plugged into a power source.
If the client OS does not see the serial device, connect the power cord to the device to allow it to start booting.
If the device appears without power, then better to wait until the terminal is open before connecting power so the client
can view the entire boot output.

Product Manual, TNSR 19.02
Locate the Console Port Device
The appropriate console port device that the workstation assigned as the serial port must be located before attempting
to connect to the console.
Note: Even if the serial port was assigned in the BIOS, the workstation OS may remap it to a different COM Port.
Windows
To locate the device name on Windows, open Device Manager and expand the section for Ports (COM & LPT).
Look for an entry with a title such as Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port. If there is a label in the name that contains
“COMX” where X is a decimal digit (e.g. COM3), that value is what would be used as the port in the terminal program.
macOS
The device associated with the system console is likely to show up as, or start with, /dev/cu.usbserial-<id>.
Run ls -l /dev/cu.*from a Terminal prompt to see a list of available USB serial devices and locate the ap-
propriate one for the hardware. If there are multiple devices, the correct device is likely the one with the most recent
timestamp or highest ID.
Linux
The device associated with the system console is likely to show up as /dev/ttyUSB0. Look for messages about the
device attaching in the system log files or by running dmesg.
Note: If the device does not appear in /dev/, see the note above in the driver section about manually loading the
1.1. Netgate Appliances 6
Product Manual, TNSR 19.02
Linux driver and then try again.
FreeBSD
The device associated with the system console is likely to show up as /dev/cuaU0. Look for messages about the
device attaching in the system log files or by running dmesg.
Note: If the serial device is not present, ensure the device has power and then check again.
Launch a Terminal Program
Use a terminal program to connect to the system console port. Some choices of terminal programs:
Windows
For Windows the best practice is to run PuTTY in Windows or SecureCRT. An example of how to configure PuTTY is
below.
Warning: Do not use Hyperterminal.
macOS
For macOS the best practice is to run GNU screen, or cu. An example of how to configure GNU screen is below.
Linux
For Linux the best practices are to run GNU screen,PuTTY in Linux,minicom, or dterm. Examples of how to
configure PuTTY and GNU screen are below.
FreeBSD
For FreeBSD the best practice is to run GNU screen or cu. An example of how to configure GNU screen is
below.
Client-Specific Examples
PuTTY in Windows
• Open PuTTY and select Session under Category on the left hand side.
• Set the Connection type to Serial
• Set Serial line to the console port determined previously
• Set the Speed to 115200 bits per second.
• Click the Open button
PuTTY will then display the console.
