Blue Coat Director Setup

Blue Coat Director Setup

Basic Steps of Initial Configuration

1. Connect the serial console. Insert a bootable image, if necessary, and plug in.
2. Pick image 510 (press 1, then Enter), 810-A (press 2, then Enter), 810-B (press 3, then Enter). For 810-5 boxes the image 810-A works. Continue the installation process, remove the flash memory card and click Reboot in the serial console when asked.
3. Log in as "admin" (password initially is empty)
4. Configure the network interface:

   enable 
   conf t
   interface ether-0
   ip address 172.17.90.72 /24
   exit

5. Still within the "conf t" mode, configure the default gateway, DNS server and password:

   ip default-gateway 172.17.90.1
   ip name-server 195.122.1.59
   enable password ****  (type some password here)

6. Save the settings:

   write memory

7. Type "exit" to leave the config mode, and type "show ver". It should display that the version is 5.4.1.1 and the platform type is 510 (regardless of the actual model you are running this on).
