11.3.2 Directly Connect an iSCSI Device to the Ditto Forensic FieldStation
If you do not wish to connect an iSCSI device to your network (for example, it may be a suspect device
with unknown properties), you can directly connect the device to the Ditto Forensic FieldStation and iso-
late it from the rest of your network. There are two methods for doing so. Once you have connected the
device, continue down to the third subsection, “Adding an iSCSI Disk to the ‘Disks’ Panel”.
Connect via the Source Ethernet Port
Follow these instructions if the iSCSI device you are attaching to the Ditto Forensic FieldStation is
a suspect device. You’ll need to connect the iSCSI device to the source Ethernet port and manually
configure the IP address of both the Ditto Forensic FieldStation and the iSCSI device.
Manually set the Ditto Forensic FieldStation’s IP address.
a. Click on the
Configure tab
at the top of the page, and then select the
Net-
work tab
.
b. In the “Source Network” section, select
Static IP
from the drop-down box
underneath the MAC address.
c. Type in the desired IP address and subnet mask into the appropriate fields.
Do not fill in the Gateway, Primary DNS Server, or Secondary DNS Server
unless directed to do so by your network administrator.
d. Click
Commit Changes
.
Manually set the iSCSI device’s IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. The first three octets of the IP
address must be identical to the first three octets of the Ditto Forensic FieldStation’s IP address. The
fourth octet must be different, and must be any other number between 1 and 255. The subnet mask
must be identical to the Ditto Forensic FieldStation’s subnet mask. The gateway must also be set as
the Ditto Forensic FieldStation’s IP address.
Based on the IP address configuration of a Ditto Forensic FieldStation that’s displayed in Figure 30, a
valid configuration for an iSCSI device would be as follows:
IP address: 10.10.10.100
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.10.10.1
After these settings are configured for the Ditto Forensic FieldStation and the iSCSI device, ensure
that the iSCSI device is connected to the source Ethernet Port. Then continue to the “Adding an iSCSI
Volume to the ‘Disks’ Panel” subsection below.
Connect via the Destination Ethernet Port
Follow these instructions if you will be transferring evidence or other data to the iSCSI device. First,
ensure that the destination Ethernet port is configured to act as a server.
a. Click on the
Configure tab
at the top of the page, and then select the
Network tab
.
b. In the “Destination Network” section, select
Server
from the drop-down box underneath the
MAC address. Do not customize the default server configuration unless directed to do so by
your network administrator.
