After initially deploying and powering on a LoadMaster, ideally the IP address of the LoadMaster will be obtained using DHCP.

If the IP address has not been obtained using DHCP, or if the address details of the LoadMaster need to be changed, the console can be used to configure the IP address of the LoadMaster, the default gateway address and the name server addresses. To go through this menu, simply log in to the console using the default username and password (bal and 1fourall).
