Initial Config

On first startup, login with admin and no password and it will force you to choose a new password.

Let’s see what IPs it has right now.

Port1 will be the WAN and its picked up a DHCP assignment. Port2 is set for static and has no IP so we will set it.

First lets see the current config.

Now set the static IP and admin access to the interface.

How does it look?

We have now set port2 IP and admin access for the port. Let's try and access the port.

Yes we can ssh to it!

Finally, lets set the hostname.

Check version and note how you can use grep. Typing in "?" after "status" wont show you that option.
