Configuring your appliance

After you have initialized your appliance using the serial console, you must configure your appliance using the user interface to enable your appliance functions.

Before you begin

  • Complete the installation and initialization of the appliance hardware. See Installing WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance for more information.
  • You must be assigned the Appliance administration permission to perform these steps.

About this task

The initialization process using the serial console prepares the appliance to be administered using the user interface. To prepare your appliance for use, you must configure additional settings.
Note: All these settings are important, but properly adding a Domain Name System (DNS) server, adding a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server and configuring mail delivery are of extra importance. These tasks must be performed before any other usage occurs.
