Install cable ties in accordance with site requirements.
Cabling and Bypass Mode
If your Talari appliance is operating in bypass mode, logic used by the appliance represents the
functionality provided by a crossover cable. This may cause a loss of the link between the
Talari appliance and older network devices that do not support Auto-MDIX when straight-
through cables are used to connect the LAN and WAN ports of the Talari appliance. In such a
case, a crossover cable is required from the Talari WAN port to the network device.
If your network devices support Auto-MDIX capability, the link should be automatically
established when in bypass mode and there should be no need for crossover cables. Talari
recommends testing and verifying this capability with the Talari appliance powered off for
proper operation.
For assistance, please contact your Talari representative, or the Talari Support team.
Powering Up the Appliance
When connecting power to the D2000:
•
Plug the AC power cords into the appliance.
•
Plug the AC power cords into an uninterrupted AC power source.
•
The appliance will start automatically.
The D2000 uses 100 - 240 VAC.
Network Deployment Options
Before getting started, it is important to determine how the Oracle Talari D2000 will be
deployed.
Note:
When considering deployment options, please note that the bypass pairs will default to
Fail-To-Block until configured otherwise.
Example instructions for some of the most common deployment scenarios are provided below:
Router (Gateway, Fail to Block)
The Oracle Talari D2000 is deployed as the WAN gateway for the site, and bypass pair is
configured as Fail-To-Block. Use this option if you plan to use the Talari Appliance as the edge
device for the site.
Layer 2 Fail-To-Wire (Overlay)
The Oracle Talari D2000 is deployed on the LAN side of the gateway, and bypass pair is
configured as Fail-To-Wire. Use this option if you prefer to retain existing edge devices or plan
to install an alternative edge device on the WAN side of the Talari Appliance.
