To connect to the GUI and configure the firewall in a browser, continue on to Initial Configuration.
To connect to the console and make adjustments before connecting to the GUI, see Connecting to the Console Port.
Warning: The default IP Address on the LAN subnet on the Netgate firewall is 192.168.1.1/24. The same
subnet cannot be used on both WAN and LAN, so if the default IP address on the ISP-supplied modem is also
192.168.1.1/24, disconnect the WAN interface until the LAN interface on the firewall has been renumbered to
a different subnet (like 192.168.2.1/24) to avoid an IP Address conflict.
To change an interface IP address, choose option 2 from the Console Menu and walk through the steps to change
it, or from the GUI, go through the Setup Wizard (opens at first boot, also found at System > Setup Wizard) and
change the IP address on Step 5. Complete the Wizard and save the changes.
Warning: This device includes an intrusion detection sensor which operates even when the device is without
power.
Opening the case on this device triggers an intrusion alarm which is logged by the BMC and is visible in the IPMI
sensors. This alarm must be reset manually as described in Re-arm the Chassis Intrusion Switch.
When the intrusion alarm is active the fans run at a fixed speed of around 8500 RPM. Resetting the intrusion sensor
alarm returns the fans to their profiled speed.
