If the DHCP client starts, it might configure the appliance with an incorrect host name and
IP address (this could happen if a DHCP server on your network is configured to respond to

3. At each subsequent prompt, enter the requested configuration information.
For more information about how to respond to the prompts during the initial configuration

4. When you are prompted to select an interface, Check Point recommends that you select one
of the Ethernet management interface ports.
To select an interface, enter the number adjacent to the physical ID in the list of connected
interfaces.
Note
A physical ID identifies the NIC or ADP module interface type (interface_type) and
provides information about its slot number (slot_num), subslot number (subslot_num)
and port number (port_num). The physical ID syntax is:
interface_type-sslot_num/ssubslot_numpport_num
For example, the physical ID for the first port of a two-port Ethernet NIC in slot 1, subslot
2 would be:
eth-s1/s2p1
The Ethernet management interface ports are numbered eth-s4p1 through eth-s4p4.
After you complete the initial configuration, you can use Check Point Network Voyager to
configure the remaining network ports.
