Changing the management interface and/or IP address from the default is described in
Section 2.1.8, “Changing Management Access”.
The Management Interface on Non-Clavister Hardware
For the Clavister Software Series product, when cOS Core runs on non-Clavister hardware, cOS
Core scans the available interfaces and allocates the 192.168.1.1 IP address to the first interface it
finds and gives this the logical name If1. Subsequent interfaces are then named If2, If3 and so on.
Trying to connect to each interface in turn with a web browser can reveal which has been
selected if it is not clear. cOS Core running under VMware names the virtual interfaces found in a
similar way.
Setting the Management Workstation IP
The default management Ethernet interface of the security gateway and the external
workstation computer's Ethernet interface must be members of the same logical IP network for
communication between them to succeed. Therefore, the connecting Ethernet interface of the
workstation must be manually assigned the following static IP values:
• IP address: 192.168.1.30
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
For details on how to set the static IP address for Windows and MacOS workstations, see the
relevant Clavister Getting Started Guide for the platform being used.
Logging on to the Web Interface
To access the Web Interface using the factory default settings, launch a web browser on the
external workstation computer and point the browser at the IPv4 address: 192.168.1.1.
When performing initial connection to cOS Core, the administrator should use https:// as the
URL protocol in the browser (in other words, https://192.168.1.1 ). Using HTTPS ensures that
communication with cOS Core is secure.
Alternatively, http:// can be used for logon but this is not secure and should be used only across
internal, private networks.
If communication with the cOS Core is successfully established, a user authentication dialog
similar to the one shown below will then be shown in the browser window.
