2.4 Initial Configuration of Filr Appliances
After you have deployed the appliances and set a few basic system settings, such as passwords, you must perform an initial appliance configuration. The process varies, depending on which deployment scenario you are implementing.
2.4.1 Small Filr Deployment Configuration
Starting and configuring an all-in-one Filr appliance is quite straightforward, as illustrated in Figure 2-9 and explained in the table that follows it.
