Initial BeyondTrust Appliance B Series Network Configuration

The BeyondTrust Appliance B Series must be configured before being deployed on your network. The network configuration settings are available in the B Series Appliance administrative interface, accessible from a web browser on your computer.

The steps below walk you through network configuration. The process may vary depending upon your operating system.

DHCP-Enabled Network Locations

If the network location you have selected for your B Series Appliance has DHCP enabled, the B Series Appliance receives an IP address from the network and is immediately available.

The IP appliance can be accessed at https://<ipaddress>/appliance. You can find this IP address via the console on the video port.

Use the default username and password to log in:

  • Default Username: admin
  • Default Password: password

Upon initial login, you are prompted to change your B Series Appliance administration password.

 

Static IP Configuration

If using DHCP, skip this Static IP Configuration section and go to the /appliance Configuration section.

If the network location selected for your appliance does not have DHCP enabled, the appliance must be configured with a static IP via the console port. A display and keyboard (using a USB port on front or back) must be connected to the appliance.
