Configure network

DHCP, static IP, MAC spoofing, use it all to seamlessly integrate your device in your network.

Every network is different. Some networks have VLAN's, some networks don't. This article will give you information about the network settings you can set. You can change them by going to the specific device and editing the settings under "Network Interfaces".

IP Address

DHCP

Your device uses DHCP out of the box so you're ready to go. We recommend to use DHCP reservation to assign a specific IP address to your device.

Static

It's also possible to set a static IP for your device. Enter the IP address, netmask and gateway. Your device will reboot and use the new settings. Made a mistake? Your device will fall back to its previous configuration and ultimately to DHCP.

You can change the network settings of a virtual device via it's console when your Cloud Portal fails to configure the right settings.

VLAN

A good network is separated in VLAN's. In order to catch hackers your device has to listen on those VLAN's. Your device only supports VLAN tagging currently.
Hit "Add interface" to add a new interface. Enter the VLAN tag number in the "VLAN" field and you're ready to go. Repeat this process for every VLAN you want your device to listen on.

DNS

Configure your internal DNS servers to make identifying a host easier. When configured, the hostname of a host/Reverse DNS of an IP address will show up. Often the IP address of your DNS server is your Windows Domain Controller or your firewall.

MAC address (honeypot only)

You can spoof the MAC address of your device to integrate seamlessly in your network. If you configure your device as a Synology NAS for example, you would like to spoof a Synology MAC address. Use our MAC address generator to generate a MAC address of the desired vendor: https://tools.securityhive.io/mac/
