Configuring an SVM

Initial configuration of an SVM using configuration commands consists of the following steps:

1. Modify the SVM name (the hostname command).
2. For each network interface of the SVM:
   • Allow the use of DHCP if dynamic IP addressing is used (the dhcp command).
   • Configure the network settings of the SVM if static IP addressing is used (the network command).
3. Configure DNS settings if static IP addressing is used (the dns command).
4. Configure the settings for connecting the SVM to Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server: address and ports (the nagent command).
5. Initial configuration of the Protection Server (the productinstall command).
6. Accept the Kaspersky Security End User License Agreement and the Privacy Policy (the accept_eula_and_privacypolicy command or the accept_eula_and_privacypolicy setting in the ScanServer.conf configuration file).

   You must accept the terms of the End-User License Agreement and the Privacy Policy for the proper SVM operation.

7. Start the Protection Server (the manageservices start scanserver command).

In addition, you can configure the following SVM configuration settings:

• Select the language of Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent Connector (the connectorlang command).
• Change the configuration password and root account password that were defined by default (the passwd klconfig and passwd root commands).
• Allow or deny access to the SVM over SSH under the root account.

After initial configuration of the SVM is completed, it is recommended to make sure that the SVM is deployed and configured successfully. To do so, you can use the checkconfig command.
