Before you begin:
- If the protector will reside on a Forcepoint DLP Appliance, follow the instructions on the quick start poster to rack, cable, and power on the appliance.
Note that at least one of the P1, P2, and N interfaces must be configured for monitor mode (it doesn’t matter which one).
- If the protector will reside on other hardware:
- Connect to the command line via a direct terminal or serial port. For serial port connection, configure the terminal application (for example, HyperTerminal or TeraTerm) as follows:
- 19200 baud
- 8 data bits
- no parity
- 1 stop bit
- no flow control
- The protector software is provided on an ISO image. Download the image, DataProtector101.iso, from support.forcepoint.com/Downloads and burn it to a CD or bootable USB. Accessing the Downloads page requires a Forcepoint Support login.
- Place the media in the protector’s CD drive or USB port and restart the machine.
- An installer page appears. Press Enter and the machine is automatically restarted a second time.
For installation, see Installation steps for ISO/Appliance Protector.
- Connect to the command line via a direct terminal or serial port. For serial port connection, configure the terminal application (for example, HyperTerminal or TeraTerm) as follows:
- If the protector is deployed in public cloud and is provided as a self-extractor package that can be installed on any CentOS 7.x and RedHat 7.x based system and provides the protector application part (ICAP server and MTA), see Installing the Forcepoint DLP Protector software package.
