Configure the RSA network settings

You can open a browser to access the initial configuration console to configure the RSA with an IP address and host name.

By default, SSH is enabled on the RSA and you cannot disable it.

1.	In the VMware host software, power on the RSA to boot the RSA (rebooting takes 5 to 10 minutes), then proceed with the initial network configuration.

2.	At the login prompt, enter konfig for both the Login and Password.

3.	Use the up -and down- arrow keys to move between the fields to configure the network settings.

4.	Press the down-arrow key until Save is selected, then press Enter.

The RSA reboots. Configure the network settings.

5.	On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click Network Settings to display the Network Settings page.

6.	Select the Enable On-Board DHCP Server check box.

The on-board DHCP server assigns a specific range of IP addresses to your networked devices and automatically sets up re-direction for Windows device boots to the appliance.

Go to Settings > User Authentication to set up LDAP authentication on the RSA. The RSA and the appliance manage users separately, so it is possible to grant access to a user on the appliance and not to a user on the RSA.
