Secure Router Manual SG-5100

This Quick Start Guide covers the ﬁrst time connection procedures for the Netgate 5100 Secure Router and also

provides information needed to stay up and running.

CHAPTER

ONE

GETTING STARTED

Use the following steps to conﬁgure the TNSR Secure Router.

1. To conﬁgure the Network Interfaces and gaining access to the Internet, follow the instructions provided in the

Zero-to-Ping documentation.

Note: Not all steps in the Zero-to-Ping documentation will be necessary for every conﬁguration scenario.

2. Once the Host OS is capable of reaching the Internet, check for updates (Updating TNSR) before proceeding.

This ensures the security and integrity of the router before TNSR interfaces are exposed to the Internet.

3. Finally, conﬁgure the TNSR instance to meet the speciﬁc use case. The topics are listed on the left column of

the TNSR Documentation site. There are also TNSR Conﬁguration Example Recipes that might be of assistance

when conﬁguring TNSR.

Note: Default Host OS Interface is enp3s0. The Host OS Interface is one network interface that is only available to

the host OS and not available in TNSR. Though technically optional, the best practice is to have one for accessing and

updating the host OS.

CONNECTING TO THE CONSOLE PORT

This guide shows how to access the serial console which can be used for troubleshooting and diagnostics tasks as well

as some basic conﬁguration.

There are times when directly accessing the console is required. Perhaps GUI or SSH access has been locked out, or

the password has been lost or forgotten.

3.1 Install the Driver

AProliﬁc PL2303 USB-to-UART Bridge driver is used to provide access to the console, which is exposed via the

USB Mini-B (5-pin) port on the appliance.

If needed, install an appropriate Proliﬁc PL2303 USB to UART Bridge driver on the workstation used to connect

with the device.

Windows

There are drivers available for Windows available for download.

macOS

There are drivers available for macOS available for download.

Linux

There are drivers available for Linux available for download.

FreeBSD

3.2 Connect a USB Cable

Next, locate an appropriate USB cable that has a USB Mini-B (5-pin) connector on one end and a regular USB Type

Aplug on the other end. These cables are commonly used with smaller USB peripherals such as GPS units, cameras,

and so on.

Gently push the USB Mini-B (5-pin) plug end into the console port on the appliance and connect the USB Type A

plug into an available USB port on the workstation.

Tip: Be certain to gently push in the USB Mini-B (5-pin) connector on the device side completely. With most cables

there will be a tangible “click”, “snap”, or similar indication when the cable is fully engaged.

3.3 Apply Power to the Device

On some devices when using a USB serial console port the serial port will not appear on the client operating system

until the device is plugged into a power source.

If the client OS does not see the serial device, connect the power cord to the device to allow it to start booting.

If the device appears without power, then better to wait until the terminal is open before connecting power so the client

can view the entire boot output.

3.4 Locate the Console Port Device

The appropriate console port device that the workstation assigned as the serial port must be located before attempting

to connect to the console.

Note: Even if the serial port was assigned in the BIOS, the workstation OS may remap it to a different COM Port.

Windows

To locate the device name on Windows, open Device Manager and expand the section for Ports (COM & LPT).

Look for an entry with a title such as Proliﬁc USB-to-Serial Comm Port. If there is a label in the name that contains

“COMX” where X is a decimal digit (e.g. COM3), that value is what would be used as the port in the terminal program.

macOS

The device associated with the system console is likely to show up as, or start with, /dev/cu.usbserial-<id>.

Secure Router Manual SG-5100

Run ls -l /dev/cu.*from a Terminal prompt to see a list of available USB serial devices and locate the ap-

propriate one for the hardware. If there are multiple devices, the correct device is likely the one with the most recent

timestamp or highest ID.

Linux

The device associated with the system console is likely to show up as /dev/ttyUSB0. Look for messages about the

device attaching in the system log ﬁles or by running dmesg.

Note: If the device does not appear in /dev/, see the note above in the driver section about manually loading the

Linux driver and then try again.

FreeBSD

The device associated with the system console is likely to show up as /dev/cuaU0. Look for messages about the

device attaching in the system log ﬁles or by running dmesg.

Note: If the serial device is not present, ensure the device has power and then check again.

3.5 Launch a Terminal Program

Use a terminal program to connect to the system console port. Some choices of terminal programs:

Windows

For Windows the best practice is to run PuTTY in Windows or SecureCRT. An example of how to conﬁgure PuTTY is

below.

Warning: Do not use Hyperterminal.

macOS

For macOS the best practice is to run GNU screen, or cu. An example of how to conﬁgure GNU screen is below.

Linux

For Linux the best practices are to run GNU screen,PuTTY in Linux,minicom, or dterm. Examples of how to

conﬁgure PuTTY and GNU screen are below.

FreeBSD

For FreeBSD the best practice is to run GNU screen or cu. An example of how to conﬁgure GNU screen is

below.

Secure Router Manual SG-5100

3.5.1 Client-Speciﬁc Examples

PuTTY in Windows

• Open PuTTY and select Session under Category on the left hand side.

• Set the Connection type to Serial

• Set Serial line to the console port determined previously

• Set the Speed to 115200 bits per second.

• Click the Open button

PuTTY will then display the console.
