Attaching the Firewall to the Network
33
To attach the Firewall to your network:
1
Connect the Ethernet port labeled WAN on the front of the Firewall to
the Ethernet port on the Internet access device.
Refer to the documentation for the Internet access device to find out the
configuration of its Ethernet port. If it has an MDIX (normal)
configuration, then you can use a standard Category 5 cable.
Make sure that the Uplink/Normal switch is in the
Uplink
position for a
standard CAT-5 cable. If you are connecting the WAN port to a hub or
switch with a crossover cable, or directly to a workstation with standard
cable, make sure the Uplink/Normal switch is in the
Normal
position.
2
Connect the Ethernet port labeled LAN to your LAN.
If you are connecting the LAN port to a hub or switch using a standard
Category 5 UTP cable, make sure that the Uplink/Normal switch for the
LAN port is in the
Uplink
position. If you are connecting the LAN port to
a hub or switch with a crossover cable, or directly to a workstation with
standard cable, make sure the Uplink/Normal switch is in the
Normal
position.
3
Connect the Ethernet port labeled DMZ to the public servers.
If you are installing the Firewall DMZ and want to protect the public
servers, such as Web and FTP servers, use the DMZ port. If you are
connecting the DMZ port directly to a server using standard Category 5
cable, make sure that the Uplink/Normal switch is in the
Normal
position.
If you are connecting the DMZ port to an Internet access device using
standard Category 5 cable, make sure that the Uplink/Normal switch is in
the
Uplink
position.
4
Turn on or restart the Internet access device.
5
Plug the Firewall into an AC power outlet, and then plug the power
supply output cable into the power adapter socket.
6
Wait for the Power LED to stop flashing.
The Firewall is designed to start up as soon as power is supplied to it.
Then it runs a series of self-diagnostics to check for proper operation.
During these diagnostics, which take about 90 seconds, the Power LED
flashes.
CAUTION:
Do not switch the Firewall off and on quickly. After switching
it off, wait approximately five seconds before switching it on again.
7
Make sure that the Link LEDs are on for all ports that are connected. If
not, see Chapter 12 for troubleshooting information.
