To make sure the Cloud Link Roadrunner™ unit can
be reached on your Security Center system’s network,
you must configure the unit's network properties.
What you should know
The Cloud Link Roadrunner unit comes with a
factory-assigned hostname. If your network does not support DHCP, you must assign the unit
a new IP address.
Procedure
-
Log on to the Cloud Link Roadrunner
unit.
-
Click .
-
(Optional) In the Hostname section, change the
Hostname if required.
Best Practice: Hostnames must be unique on a network, and the default hostname
is guaranteed to be unique. We recommend that you keep the default hostname, which
is found on the appliance's label.
-
In the Access Manager settings section, change the
Discovery port if necessary.
-
In the Network settings section, configure the unit’s IP
address and network properties.
IMPORTANT: If the Cloud Link Roadrunner unit is not on the same
network segment as the Access Manager, then the unit's IP address must be set to
Static IP or DHCP with Static IP
allocation.
-
In the Network time section, configure the Network Time
Protocol (NTP) server if one is available.
-
Click Use network time and enter the NTP
server name.
Best Practice: An NTP server offers greater time accuracy than the built-in
protocol that synchronizes the Cloud Link Roadrunner units with their Access
Manager. Therefore, use the network time whenever an NTP server is available on
your network. All Security Center servers and workstations must be synchronized to
the same NTP server as your Cloud Link Roadrunner appliances.
-
In the 802.1X authentication section, select the LAN you want
to use for 802.1X authentication and select the authentication mode.
NOTE: If you configured these settings once, their current values are displayed. If
you need to change a value, you must re-enter all values. Otherwise, your change
will not be saved.
- Disabled
- The 802.1X authentication is disabled by default.
- PEAP
- Use the Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP).
Enter the
EAP identity (username) and
Password, and upload the
CA
certificate.
NOTE: The
CA certificate must be a PEM or DER file.
- TLS
- Use the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.
Enter the
EAP
identity (username), upload the
CA
certificate,
Client certificate,
and
Client private key, and enter the
Client private key
password.
NOTE: The
CA certificate must be a PEM or DER file.
-
Click Save.
Results
The Cloud Link Roadrunner unit restarts, and you are automatically redirected to the
unit's new IP address.
If you have enabled network time, the unit synchronizes with the
NTP server 45 seconds after the setting is enabled, and then every 15
minutes.
