In the IP Address field, enter 192.168.1.2. In the Netmask field, enter 255.255.255.0.
Caution: If your internal network uses the 192.168.1.0/24 IP range, the 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 addresses might already be in use. In this case, disconnect syslog-ng Store Box (SSB) from the network, and connect directly a computer to its external interface using a standard cross-link cable.
