The procedure described here is guide for configuring the Desktop of the Fedora operating system and integrating the LANforge GUI into the Desktop.

Before beginning this procedure, verify that the Keyboard-Video-Mouse (KVM) are all connected and the appliance's management port is connected to your network. If you are using a KVM switch, ensure it is set to display LANforge once it is powered up. LANforge is very flexible, so if you have hardware constraints that do not appear to be supported by LANforge, please contact support@candelatech.com. It is likely we have a solution!
