6. Connect to devices – Connect the devices you want to protect to the
Airwall on Port 2.
The Airwall should now be recognized in the Conductor, showing up on the Licensing
tab, or on the Airwalls page as ready to manage. Once the Airwall is connected to the
Conductor, you can manage and configure it there (including serial ports). For more
command line options, see the Airwall Gateway Airshell Console Command Reference.
Option 2 – Use a DHCP Server
For provisioning, place the Airwall where it can reach the Conductor on your shared
network. Once you set up DHCP on your network, you can skip steps 2 and 3 when
setting up any additional Airwalls.
1. Plug in the Airwall – Locate the Airwall in an area that complies with the
safe operating guidelines, and then plug it in or apply power.
2. Check DHCP – Ensure there is a DHCP server and a DNS resolver or DNS
server for the local domain that is accessible on the shared network.
3. Create a DNS SRV record – On the DNS server, add a SRV record pointing
to the Conductor URL:
_service._proto.name TTL class SRV priority weight port target
For example, if your shared network domain is me.com and the Conductor
hostname is cond-01, then the SRV record should be:
_ifmap._tcp.example.com. 3600 IN SRV 10 0 8096 cond-01.me.com
*Use the TTL, priority and weight for your DNS environment. Port 8096 is the
default, but you can change it in the Conductor and set it to an alternate
port.
4. Connect to your network – Connect the Airwall to a network shared with
the Conductor using Port 1. The DHCP server assigns an IP address,
netmask, and a default gateway to the Airwall. The Airwall then does an DNS
lookup and configures itself using the Conductor address.
5. Connect to devices – Connect the devices you want to protect to the
Airwall on Port 2.
The Airwall should now be recognized in the Conductor, showing up on the Licensing
tab, or on the Airwalls page as ready to manage. Once the Airwall is connected to the
Conductor, you can manage and configure it there (including serial ports).
