To place the SG810 into the network:
1
Connect the SG810 to the WAN—connect one end of an Ethernet cable
(straight or crossover depending on your network topology) to one of the
SG810’s Ethernet ports (either one). Connect the other end to the router or
firewall connected to the WAN.
2
Connect the SG810 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 SG810. 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 SG810. If the network connection is
functioning, the left-hand LED on each connection glows green.
The cabling and connections specific to the deployment of the SG810 are not
within the scope of this book. Consult with your network administrator for
guidance on deploying the SG810 within your organization and refer to the
Blue
Coat ProxySG Configuration and Management Guide .
Overview of First-Time Configuration
While performing the first-time configuration, you must assign an IP address,
subnet mask, and IP gateway for the SG810. These parameters must be assigned
through the serial console or the front panel.
You can select among four options to configure your SG810. Each of these
methods allows you make the basic network settings required to test the
connection and functionality.
