WARNING! Ensure system meets minimum requirements before installation. Backup existing data if upgrading.

Initial Configuration

Essential configuration steps after successful installation.

1. Set administrator credentials and security policies
2. Configure network interfaces and IP addresses
3. Set up storage volumes and file systems
4. Configure basic services and daemons
5. Enable monitoring and logging systems

CAUTION! Document all configuration changes for future reference and troubleshooting.

Security Settings

• Firewall Configuration: Enable and configure iptables or Windows Firewall
• User Authentication: Implement strong password policies and 2FA
• Access Control: Set up role-based access control (RBAC)
• SSL/TLS Certificates: Install and configure for secure communication
• Security Updates: Configure automatic security patch management
• Audit Logging: Enable comprehensive security auditing
• Intrusion Detection: Implement IDS/IPS systems

Network Configuration

Configure network interfaces, DNS, and routing for optimal performance.

Basic Setup: Static IP assignment, subnet configuration, gateway settings.

Advanced: VLAN configuration, bonding interfaces, QoS policies, load balancing.

DNS Configuration: Primary and secondary DNS servers, domain name resolution.

User Management

Create and manage user accounts, groups, and permissions.

1. Create administrative accounts with appropriate privileges
