Troubleshooting Global Faults
Between a firewall and an endpoint
•
When the IPS is deployed between a firewall and an endpoint no
special cabling is needed. Two straight through cables should be used.
•
The sensor supports auto MDI/MDI-X so the link will be negotiated
properly when the sensor is in the normal operational state.
•
When the sensor is placed into bypass mode it internally implements a
crossover and allows normal operation of the connection.
Between two firewalls
•
When the IPS is deployed between two firewalls no special cabling is
needed. Two straight through cables should be used.
•
The sensor supports auto MDI/MDI-X so the link will be negotiated
properly when the sensor is in the normal operational state.
•
When the sensor is placed into bypass mode it internally implements a
crossover and allows normal operation of the connection.
Between a switch and a firewall
•
When the IPS is deployed between a switch and a firewall a straight
through cable should be used between the switch and the IPS. A
crossover cable should be used between the IPS and the firewall.
•
The sensor supports auto MDI/MDI-X so the link between the IPS and
the firewall will be negotiated properly when the sensor is in the normal
operational state
•
When the sensor is placed into bypass mode the internal crossover
and the crossover cable between the firewall and the IPS will combine
to create a straight through cable. This will allow normal operation of
the connection.
Between router and a firewall
•
When the IPS is deployed between a router and a firewall no special
cabling is needed. Two straight through cables should be used.
•
The sensor supports auto MDI/MDI-X so the link will be negotiated
properly when the sensor is in the normal operational state.
•
When the sensor is placed into bypass mode it internally implements a
crossover and allows normal operation of the connection.
