GB-Ware Firewall Product Guide20

During installation, you chose the video or the serial console version of the

GNAT Box runtime. These methods can be used during setup, or when you

have direct physical access to the ﬁrewall, or as a failsafe if the network is

down and you can no longer administer your ﬁrewall remotely. Addition-

ally, you may choose to set up your ﬁrewall over a peer Ethernet connection

using GBAdmin or a web user interface.

Note

You do not have to install separate GNAT Box runtimes to activate

the GBAdmin or web user interfaces; they are included with the

installation of a video or serial console runtime version. However, if

you installed GB-Ware’s video runtime version, you will have to use

the video console’s Setup Wizard before your ﬁrewall will allow you

to connect any other way.

Note

If you installed the serial console version of the GB-Ware runtime,

the video console connection mode may not be available. Conversely,

if you installed the video console version of GB-Ware, the serial

console version may not be available to you.

Depending upon which user interface (UI) you choose to use for initial

ﬁrewall conﬁguration, you may need to attach different hardware to your

GB-Ware ﬁrewall.
