Setting up the LogLogic Appliance

ThissectionprovidesanoverviewonsettinguptheLogLogicapplianceusingtheGUI.Specifically,thissectiongoesoverthefollowingsteps:

1. Connectingtheappliancetoanetwork

2. Loggingintotheappliance

3. Configuringlogsourceauto-identification

4. Configuringnetworksettings

5. Settingthetimezoneandtime

Settinguptheapplianceisextremelyfastandsimple.

Step 1:ConnectingtheAppliancetoaNetwork

TheLogLogicapplianceinitiallyusesadefaultnetworkaddressof10.0.0.11withanetworkmaskof255.255.255.0.UseaswitchoranEthernetcrossovercabletomakeadirectconnectionbetweentheapplianceandaworkstationconfiguredwitha10.0.0.0/24address.

Step 2:LoggingintotheAppliance

1. Openawebbrowseronyourworkstationandconnecttotheappliancebyenteringhttps://10.0.0.11inthebrowseraddressline.

2. ClickYEStoacceptthecertificate.Aloginscreenappears,asshowninFigure5.

3. Enterthedefaultusername(admin)andpassword(admin).TheAppliancedisplaystheEndUserLicenseAgreement(EULA).

4. AccepttheEULA.TheApplianceasksyoutoenteranewpassword,whichmustcontainatleastonenumber.

5. Enteranewpassword.TheAppliancedisplaysthenavigationmenu,andawarningthatthetimeisnotyetsetontheAppliance.Youcanignorethiswarning;itisaddressedlaterinthisprocedure.

6. Createasecondaryadministrativeaccount.

Step 3:ConfiguringLogSourceAuto-Identification

Theauto-identificationfeatureallowstheappliancetoquicklydiscovertheactualCiscoproductnameandusethisasthenameofthedevice.Notalldevicescanbeauto-identified,butforthosethatcan,thisfeatureisextremelyhandyinhelpingtoeasilyidentifythedevice.

1. ExpandtheAdministrationoptionintheleftmarginofthebrowserwindow.

2. UnderAdministration,selectSystem Settings.TheGeneraltabappears.

3. NexttoAuto-identify Log Sources,selectYes.

4. IfyouwanttoenableSSHconnectionstotheappliance,nexttoEnable SSH Daemon at Startup,selectYes.

5. ClickUpdate.
