Configuration wizard steps

The configuration wizard is typically used to perform the initial configuration of the system. See Initial configuration for information about running the wizard before the management interface is configured. After the management interface is configured, an administrator can use the configuration jump-start CLI command to run the wizard.

The following table describes the questions the configuration wizard prompts you to answer as it moves through the wizard steps. As noted in the table, the wizard skips some steps based on your answers to previous steps.

Note

To exit the configuration wizard, press CTRL+C. To restart the configuration wizard, use the configuration jump-start command.

Step	Response
Hostname?	Enter the hostname for the appliance.
Admin password?	Enter a new administrator password. The new password must be 8–32 characters. If you do not change the password, the administrator will be unable to log in to the appliance.
Confirm admin password?	Re-enter the new administrator password.
Enable remote access for ‘admin’ user?	Enter yes to enable the administrator to log in to the appliance remotely. Enter no to disable remote access.
Use DHCP on ether1 interface?	Enter yes to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to configure the appliance IP address and other network parameters. Enter no to manually configure your IP address and network settings. (If you enter yes, the zeroconf and static IP addressing steps are skipped.)
Use zeroconf on ether1 interface?	Enter yes to use zero-configuration (zeroconf) networking. Enter no to specify a static IP address and network mask. (If you specify yes, the next step is skipped.) NOTE: Do not use zeroconf on the primary interface.
Primary IP address and masklen?	Enter the IP address for the management interface in A.B.C.D format and enter the network mask, for example: 1.1.1.2/12.
Default gateway?	Enter the gateway IP address for the management interface.
Primary DNS server?	Enter the IP address of the DNS server.
Domain name?	Enter the domain for the management interface; for example: it.acme.com.
Enable fenet service?	Enter yes to enable access to the DTI network. (If you enter no, the next three steps are skipped.)
Enable fenet license update service?	Enter yes to enable the licensing service to automatically download your licenses from the DTI network and install them. (If licenses are downloaded and installed successfully, the wizard skips the step that prompts for the product license key and the step that prompts for the security-content updates key.)
Sync appliance time with fenet?	Enter yes to synchronize the appliance time with the DTI server time. If you enabled the licensing service, synchronization prevents a feature from being temporarily unlicensed due to a time gap. The wizard makes three attempts to perform this step before it gives up and moves to the next step.
Update licenses from fenet?	Enter yes to download and install your licenses. The wizard makes three attempts to perform this step before giving up and moving on to the next step.
Enable NTP?	Enter yes to enable automatic time synchronization with one or more Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers. Enter no to manually set the time and date on the appliance. (This step is skipped if you entered yes in the "Sync appliance time with fenet?" step.) If you enter no, specify the time and date in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Set time(<hh>:<mm>:<ss>)?	Enter the system time for the appliance. (This step and the next step are skipped if you entered yes in the "Sync appliance time with fenet?" or "Enable NTP?" step.)
Set date (<yyyy>/<mm>/<dd>)?	Enter the date corresponding to the system time for the appliance.
Enable IPv6?	Enter yes to enable IPv6 protocol, which changes network IP routing from IPv4 to IPv6.
Enable IPv6 autoconfig (SLAAC) on ether1 interface?	Enter yes to enable IPv6 autoconfig on the ether1 (management interface) port. (This step is skipped if you entered no in the "Enable IPv6?" step.)
Enable DHCPv6 on ether1 interface?	Enter yes to use DHCPv6 to configure IPv6 hosts with IP addresses. (This step is skipped if you entered no in the "Enable DHCP?" or "Enable IPV6?" step.)
Product license key?	Enter the product license key you obtained from Trellix, or press Enter to install a 15-day evaluation license. (This step and the next step are skipped if you entered yes in the "Enable fenet license update service?" step and if licenses were successfully installed as a result.)
Security-content updates key?	Enter the security-content license key you obtained from Trellix, or press Enter to skip this step and install the license later.
