Security Gateway Manual Netgate-2100
2.2 The Setup Wizard
This section steps through each page of the Setup Wizard to perform the initial configuration of the firewall. The
wizard collects information one page at a time but it does not make any changes to the firewall until the wizard is
completed.
Tip: The wizard can be safely stopped at any time for those who wish to perform the configuration manually or
restore an existing backup (Backup and Restore).
To stop the wizard, navigate away from the wizard pages by clicking the logo in the upper left of the page or by
choosing an entry from one of the menus.
Note: Ignore the warning at the top of each wizard page about resetting the admin account password. One of the
steps in the Setup Wizard is to change the default password, but the new password is not applied until the end of the
wizard.
1. Click Next to start the Setup Wizard.

this guide, the default hostname pfsense is used.
Domain The domain name under which the firewall operates. The default home.arpa is used for
the purposes of this tutorial.
