On the command line of the NGFW Engine, you can use the NGFW Configuration Wizard to change settings that were
defined during the installation of the NGFW Engine.
The NGFW Configuration Wizard also allows you to re-establish a trust relationship between the NGFW Engine and the
Management Server if the trust is lost.
Note: On NGFW Engines that are fully configured, you can change each setting individually without changing the other settings. All steps are
optional.
Steps
-
Start the NGFW Configuration Wizard using one of the following commands:
sg-reconfigure --no-shutdown
— The NGFW Configuration Wizard starts without shutting down the NGFW Engine. You cannot change network interface settings in this mode.
sg-reconfigure
— The NGFW Engine shuts down and the NGFW Configuration Wizard
starts. All options are available if you have a local connection. If you have a remote SSH connection, you cannot change network interface settings.
