Section B: Placing the SG510 into the Network
This procedure describes a a typical scenario for placing the SG510 into your
network. Use this procedure for the following circumstances:
• You have already completed an initial configuration on the SG510.
• You are going to complete an initial configuration on the SG510 using a direct
serial port connection or a remote Web browser setup.
The following instructions are an example of a typical network scenario—placing
the SG510 between the LAN and a router or firewall connected to the WAN. If
you do not know how to place the SG510 into your own network, consult with
your IT administrator. For less common network configurations, such as using
WCCP or a Layer 4 switch, refer to the
Blue Coat ProxySG Configuration and
Management Guide Suite .
To Place the SG510 into the Network:
1
Connect the SG510 to the WAN—connect one end of an Ethernet cable
(straight or crossover depending on your network topology) to one of the
SG510’s Ethernet ports (either one). Connect the other end to the router or
firewall connected to the WAN.
2
Connect the SG510 to the LAN—connect one end of an Ethernet cable
(straight or crossover depending on your network topology) into the other
Ethernet port on the SG510. Connect the other end to the LAN (such as a PC
or a hub).
3
Verify that the network link is established by checking the network
connection LEDs at the back of the SG510. If the network connection is
functioning, the left-hand LED on each connection glows green.
