Global Technology Associates SOFTWARE FIREWALL GBWA200501-01 Manual De Usuario

 

3 – Configuration 19

The following sections describe how to change GB-Ware from the default 
configuration, in which all internal users are allowed outbound connections, 
but no unsolicited inbound connections are allowed. 

Use either the web user interface, GBAdmin, the video console, or the serial 
console to configure the GB-Ware firewall.

After installing GB-Ware and attaching the hardware key block, power up 
the GB-Ware firewall. 

1.  Boot into the firewall’s CMOS (BIOS).
2.  Set the boot sequence so that the GB-Ware drive is first, before any 

other drives in the IDE controller slots. This will enable GB-Ware to 
boot upon powering up.

3.  Save your settings and exit the BIOS.
4.  Restart the computer using a cold reboot. (In a cold reboot, shut 

down, power off, and then power your computer back on.) 

GTA  recommends  disconnecting  or  disabling  any  unnecessary 
hardware in the GB-Ware firewall system. This prevents accidental 
access of other drives and simplifies hardware configuration.

If the boot sequence is correctly set, the firewall will boot from the GB-
Ware drive.

Both memory slice and 1 and slice 2 of the disk image have already been 
written during installation and are, at this point, identical. The first time the 
GNAT Box System is loaded, slice 1 will boot up by default.

Your GB-Ware firewall can be accessed in many ways. Choose one which 
best suits your available hardware, network situation, GB-Ware runtime 
version and preferences.
