Setting Up the T820/1220

Connect Your Appliance to the Network

1. Connect the power cable.

2. Boot up the appliance by pressing the Power button on the front panel.

3. Connect the appliance to a KVM switch. The start-up screen is displayed.

4. From the screen, press F10.

5. The System Setup screen appears

6. If you intend to use remote access now or in the future, select iDRAC Settings. Otherwise select Device Settings.

7. Select User Configuration.
   The predefined IP address (192.168.1.100/24) appears.

8. Change the IP address to your desired value. This must be done before you connect the appliance to the network.

9. Connect the appliance to the network via the NIC ports.

10. To set up serial connection through iDRAC see the Configuring BIOS for Serial Connection procedure in iDRAC9 User’s Guide.

Configuring Remote Access

After you connect your appliance to the network, we recommend that you also configure Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC).
iDRAC is a remote server management controller that allows you to securely access your Tufin appliance from any location. It enables you to upgrade TufinOS or TOS on the appliance without having to physically access the server as well as deploy, manage, configure, and troubleshoot from any location.

Set up iDRAC Prerequisites

See the Dell iDRAC user guide for required ports and services here.

1. In your browser, navigate to the application IP address that you defined in the Connect Your Appliance to the Network procedure. The Integrated Remote Access Controller 9 screen displays.
2. Scan the sticker found on your Tufin appliance to view your root user and randomized password.
3. Enter your credentials.
   The iDRAC9 interface displays.

Use the iDRAC interface to:

• Monitor the health of your system
• Access your appliance’s Virtual Console

For the full iDRAC user guide, see here.

Installing and Configuring TOS Aurora

This procedure is only relevant for versions R22-2 and above. If you are using a previous version, contact Tufin Support.
You must install the version of TOS Aurora that is found on your appliance before upgrading to any later version of TOS Aurora.

Network Requirements for TOS Aurora
Before you install TOS Aurora, ensure the following network requirements:

• Allow access to the required ports and services.
• Dedicate a 24-bit CIDR subnet on your network to TOS Aurora for internal use. It must not overlap with CIDR 10.244.0.0/16 or with the physical and VIP (Virtual IP) network addresses of your SecureTrack Aurora servers.
• Dedicate two different IP addresses to TOS Aurora:
• The virtual IP (VIP) that will serve as the external IP address used to access TOS Aurora from your browser and from devices that send it data. The VIP will not be needed in the installation, except in the last step – the installation command.
• The physical network IP that will serve as the internal IP address used by the administrator for CLI commands and this is the one you will use in all other steps of the installation.
• If additional nodes are subsequently added to the cluster, each node will require an additional dedicated physical network IP. The VIP and all the physical network IPs must be on the same subnet3

Install TOS Aurora

• Reconfigure TufinOS

  • Open a command line using SSH to the IP address of the first network interface (if you have not changed it: 192.168.1.100).

  • Log in as tufin-admin with password admin
    You are prompted to change the default password when you first log in.

  • Reboot the appliance.

  • Reconnect to the appliance (steps 1a-1b).

  • To install TOS Aurora, run the following commands
    The installation file is in /opt/misc.

• Configure the appliance for TOS Aurora

  • To access the appliance with Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, browse with https to the IP address of the first network interface. If you have not changed the IP address, browse to https://192.168.1.100.

  • Accept the certificate.

  • The login window appears. Log in as admin with password admin, and click Login. You are prompted to set a new password.

  • Configure the IP address and DNS, where is the name of the interface you are using. For example: eno12399np0.

  • Do one of the following:
    (Recommended) Run the command sudo nmtui edit .
    In the window, set the parameters as follows:

  • Set IPv4 CONFIGURATION to Manual.

  • Set Addresses to the internal machine IP together with the chosen subnet.

  • Set Gateway and DNS Servers to the IPs used by your organization.

  • (or) Edit the configuration files directly:

  • Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1.

  • Change line BOOTPROTO=dhcp to BOOTPROTO=static.

  • Add entries at the end of the file:

  • IPADDR=

  • NETMASK=

  • GATEWAY=

  • DNS1=

  • DNS2=
    where

    is the internal machine IP. , , , are the appropriate values for your network.

  • Restart the network service.

• Installing TOS Aurora

  • Run the install command, replacing the parameters with one of the following values:

  • ST for SecureTrack only

  • ST, SC for both SecureTrack and SecureChange

  • RC for a remote collector

  • with the external IP that you will use to access TOS Aurora
  • with the CIDR that you want TOS Aurora to use Example:

  • The End User License Agreement (EULA) appears.

  •  After reading, enter q to exit the document and then enter y to accept the EULA and continue until the commands completes
    Type Exit to leave the CLI

Configure SecureTrack

• Log in as admin with password admin, and click Login.
  • You are prompted to set a new password.
• The first time that you log into SecureTrack, you can use the First-Time Wizard to configure the following settings:
  • Activate your SecureTrack license: Relevant only for central clusters. Skip for remote collectors. For complete instructions, see Activate License.
  • Set the Time Zone: The TOS Aurora application has its own timezone, independent of your host node and the default is UTC. If UTC is not the timezone you want to use, see The TOS Aurora Time Zone.
  • Set up your IP Addresses: To set up your Syslog VIP address, see Syslog VIP Addresses. Primary and VIP addresses can be changed if needed. For more information, see Changing IP Addresses.
  • Add Nodes to your cluster: TOS Aurora is deployed by default as a single node Kubernetes cluster. See Multi-Node Processing for more information about adding additional nodes.

Configure SecureChange

1. Create a SecureTrack Administrator User:

2. Go to at https:// where IP is the cluster VIP.

3. Log in to SecureTrack as tufin-admin with password admin.

4. Create a new SecureTrack Administrator user.
   Note : If you are going to configure SecureChange for multi-domain management, make the user either a super administrator or multi-domain administrator, depending on whether you want to restrict the administrator to selected domains.
   For more information, see Managing TOS Aurora Users.

5. Log in to SecureChange:

6. Go to https:///securechangeworkflowwhere is the cluster VIP.

7. Log in to SecureChange as tufin-admin with password admin.
