Step 5. Configuring the management network interface

To ensure proper functioning of the Sandbox component, you must connect at least two network cards and configure the following network Interfaces:

• Management network interface. This interface is intended for providing SSH access to the Sandbox server; the Sandbox server also uses this interface to receive objects from the Central Node.
• Network interface used for Internet access of processed objects. Objects that are processed by Sandbox can use this interface to attempt activities on the Internet, and Sandbox can analyze their behavior. If you block Internet access, Sandbox cannot analyze the behavior of objects on the Internet, and will therefore only analyze the behavior of objects without internet access.

  The network interface used for Internet access of processed objects must be isolated from the local network of your organization.

Select the network interface that you want to use as the management interface and configure it.

To select a management network interface and configure it:

1. In the list of network interfaces, select the network interface that you want to use as the management interface.
2. Press Enter.
3. In the Address field, enter the IP address that you want to assign to this network interface.
4. In the Netmask field, enter the network mask in which you want to use this network interface.
5. Select OK and press Enter.
6. Select Continue and press Enter.

The Setup Wizard proceeds to the next step.
