The webinterface GibADMIN

Top  Previous  Next

After starting Gibraltar from CD you can access GibADMIN via web browser (e.g: Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator). By initiation the network interface card gets assigned a standard IP address (https://10.0.0.1), over which the GibADMIN is accessible.  Therefore you have to put your computer, with which you want to configure Gibraltar into the same network area as Gibraltar. That means to change your IP address, if your network doesn't work with IP address area 10.0.0.0/24 anyway. Assign an IP address (e.g.: 10.0.0.5) to your computer, whereas the last number is variable, if there already exists a computer with the IP address 10.0.0.5 in your network.
