Connecting an Appliance Using an Ethernet Cable
For SWG 3000 and SWG 5000 models
1.
Plug in the power cable and switch the appliance on.
2.
Connect a PC directly to the appliance’s GE0 port or via a switch
(for 5000-SWG, see 5000-SWG Rear Panel) using a standard (8
thread) Ethernet cable. CAT5e cables (or better) are
recommended.
3.
The default IP of the GE0 interface is 10.0.0.1, and its default
netmask is 255.255.255.0. Configure the TCP/IP settings of your
PC so that it is on the same logical network subnet as the
appliance’s GE0 interface. For example, configure the IP on the
PC as 10.0.0.101 and the PC’s netmask as255.255.255.0
4.
Continue with Initial Setup of your SWG Appliance using Limited
Shell.
For an SWG 7000 appliance
The SWG 7000 model is a chassis containing blade servers, each
of which operates as an appliance. This provides for overall higher
end performance.
Perform the following procedure for each blade regardless of its
intended network role.
1.
Plug in the power cables.
2.
Configure the network settings of any PC to match those of the
appliance (IP address and subnet mask).
y
IP address in the same subnet e.g. 10.0.0.101
y
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
IMPORTANT:
Do not set the PC’s IP to 10.0.0.1, as this will result
in an IP conflict with the appliance.
