I recently downloaded sophos vmware utm-9.003-esx-v5-x86-smp file for evaluation. Upon successfully deploying ovf on ESX 5.1 and powering on the VM
it gets an IP 192.168.0.1. Also Sophos throws a Welcome message stating
"support is void if any changes to config is made by root. It says that use Sophos WebAdmin UI to do any config changes"
By this, cant i change/set hostname and IP address using commands
like
hostname -v ***
ip addr add dev eth0 X.x.x.x/24
ip link set up dev eth0
route add -net x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0
route add default gw x.x.x.x dev eth0
After doing the above config changes, the IP and hostname is effective untill the session ends ( I mean till next reboot happens). Isn't this commandline configuration persistent even though i do reboot.
Is it mandatory that i should use webadmin GUI to set up changes to config
Also
can't i use IPTables command to add rules to sophos for setting Nat rules, port forwarding
Sophos also provides a cc comandline utility to do some config. Where can i get the document of syntax and supported commands, any online help doc available
regards,
Vijay
