Logging in and performing basic

configurations

The first time you access the firewall, you can log in to the CLI through the console port or log in to the

Web interface by using a Web browser. After login, you can configure Telnet or SSH for remote access.

You can also configure AUX access parameters so you can use the AUX port for local access when the

console port is not available.

SSH access is not covered in this chapter. For how to configure SSH login and use SSH to log in, see the

firewall configuration guides.

Logging in to the CLI through the console port

To log in to the CLI through the console port, you must have a console cable and a terminal (for example,

a PC).

The terminal can be any character terminal with an RS-232 port or a PC. Typically, a PC running a

terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal on a Windows operating system or SecureCRT) is

used. In the following sections, a PC running Windows XP HyperTerminal is used.

The console cable can be an 8-core shielded cable that has an RJ-45 connector at one end for

connecting to the console port of the firewall and a DB-9 female connector at the other end for

connecting to the serial port on the terminal.

Connecting the terminal to the firewall

1. Plug the DB-9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port of the PC.

2. Plug the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the firewall.
