Management Ethernet port/HA port
The management Ethernet port is a 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T RJ-45 port. It allows you to
upgrade software and manage the firewall through a network management server without using any
service interface of the firewall. The management Ethernet port is used only for managing the firewall
and it has no service processing capabilities such as data forwarding.
High Availability includes features such as stateful failover and VRRP. The HA port on the A-F5000 is a
10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T auto-sensing RJ-45 port, used to synchronize status packets in
dual-device backup networking.

RESET button
To reset the current MPU, press the RESET button.
If you press the RESET button when only one MPU is equipped, the whole system will be reset. The RUN
LED goes off when the MPU is reset, flashes fast (at 8 Hz) when BootWare is running, and flashes slowly
(at 1 Hz) after the system is booted and operates properly.
CAUTION:
•
If you perform no save operation before resetting the firewall, the current system configuration will be
lost.
•
Never press the RESET button when the RUN LED is flashing fast or when the firewall is accessing the CF
card. Otherwise, the file system of the firewall may be damaged.
