9 Basic nShield Connect, RFS and client configuration
9.1.2 nShield Connect configuration
The current configuration files for the hardserver of an nShield Connect are stored in its local file
system. These files are automatically:
l Updated when the nShield Connect is configured
l Exported to the appropriate RFS directory.
Each nShield Connect in a Security World has separate configuration files on the RFS. See the User
Guide for more about nShield Connect configuration files and advanced configuration options.
9.1.3 Client configuration
The current configuration files for the hardserver of a client are stored in its local file system.
See the
User Guide
for more about client configuration files and advanced configuration options.
The following steps assume that you have added the path %NFAST_HOME%\bin (Windows) or
/opt/nfast/bin/ (Unix-based systems) to the PATH system variable.
9.2 Basic nShield Connect and RFS configuration
After installing the Security World Software and the nShield Connect, you need to do the following:
l Configure the nShield Connect Ethernet interfaces
l Configure the RFS.
You should complete the RFS tasks before :
l Configuring the nShield Connect and client to work together
l Creating a Security World and an Operator Card Set (OCS)
See the User Guide for more about creating a Security World and the OCS.
9.2.1 Configuring the Ethernet interfaces - IPv4 and IPv6
An nShield Connect communicates with one or more clients over an Ethernet network. You must
supply IP addresses for the nShield Connect and the client. Contact your system administrator for this
information if necessary.
You can specify up to two network interfaces for the nShield Connect.
If you are configuring both network interfaces, you should not use the same subnet for both
interfaces.
You can configure the nShield Connect using the front panel Network config menu, or by pushing a
configuration file to the nShield Connect over the network. The initial set up of the nShield Connect
must be done using the front panel. The following can be configured:
l Interface addresses
l Default gateway
