QUICK START GUIDE

This appendix is intended to give an overview of the functions of the Guardian Digital WebTool. After reading this appendix, the reader should be able to perform the steps required to set up a domain to receive mail, configure DNS services, and serve Web pages. If your EnGarde system will not be used to perform all of the functions listed above, it is especially important that you read the User Guide and have a full understanding of each of the services you will be configuring.

Before following the example below, EnGarde should have already undergone initial configuration and be plugged in and operating on a network. Information regarding the initial configuration can be found in Section Installing EnGarde Installing EnGarde.

To obtain a fast and most accurate setup, follow the steps in the described order. Once you have successfully completed each step, proceed in order to the next step. There are four primary steps required to configure EnGarde:

1. Configure the network interface
2. Configure the DNS Server
3. Configure the Mail Server
4. Configure the Web Server to prepare for normal and secure websites

After the initial configuration of your EnGarde Secure Professional system, the basic system and networking functions are operating correctly and is ready to configure a sample store. We will be configuring our example EnGarde system to use the following initial values entered when EnGarde was configured:

• [Hostname:]myserver
• [Domain Name:]mydomain.com
• [IP Address:]192.168.1.70
• [Netmask:]255.255.255.0
• [Gateway:]192.168.1.1
• [Primary DNS Address:]192.168.1.70
• [Secondary DNS Address:]192.168.1.60

In this example, we will be creating the domain engardelinux.com that will be hosting our DNS, routing mail, and serving web pages.
