Noob Questions

Hi there!

First of all, I have to admit, that I'm some kind of a noob in regards with Firewall - Systems but I'm more than willing to soke into my brain, whatever you may give me!

Okay, now here is what I have:

I've got a server running, with 1 Nic on which are 3 IP's running!

The main IP is i.e. 192.168.0.X
and the other IP's are i.e. 192.168.10.X and 192.168.100.X

So, now we've got the ASG-220 which should protect at least the 192.168.0.X net.

So, now the install-process of the ASG-220 starts and the first thing is that I have to give a Hostname. Which Hostname??? Is that the Hostname of the Network which the ASG shall protect? Or does the ASG itself require a Hostname?

I have some more questions which I will post after these two have been clatified. If that's okay for you folks!

Thanks for your patience and help in advance
regards

Taken from the WebAdmin page where a hostname is defined:

This is the hostname of the system. It should be a fully qualified DNS hostname, including a domain. It should be resolveable in public DNS and point to the external interface of the system. If you are using DynDNS, you should also use the DynDNS hostname here.

In other words entering a made-up hostname will not guarantee that you can access WebAdmin from outside your network (i.e. the Internet). I would recommend registering a free dynamic hostname and entering that as the ASG hostname. At least this would be easier to remember than a set of numbers (i.e. your public IP address), plus ASG supports automatic updating of your hostname if you sign up for a DynDNS hostname. As RFCat_vk mentioned consult the user guide via the WebAdmin interface ['Support' > 'Manual'], or you can download a copy from the official Astaro website, depending on which version of Astaro you're using. If you have no need to access WebAdmin in this way then you can ignore this and go for what BarryG said, bearing in mind the hostname you make up will only work inside your network.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Jon.
