Connecting to the network
For the SDI-5030 gateway located at the data center, use port 1 located on the rear panel of the gateway
to connect to the SteelConnect Manager (SCM). The remaining ports are general purpose ports. The
ports are numbered 1 to 6 along the lower row and 7 to 10 in the upper row of the rear panel.
The SDI-2030 gateway can be deployed as a 1-Gbps data center gateway for small enterprises. The SDI-
2030 gateway can also serve as a branch office appliance that requires high throughput. For the SDI-
2030 gateway located at the branch, upon bootstrap, port 1 reserved for high availability (HA) and all the
remaining ports are used as uplinks. After the appliance establishes communication with SCM, any port
can be used as either an HA port or an uplink (WAN) port.
Note:
The SteelConnect SDI-2030 and SDI-5030 gateways do not ship with cables.

. After a successful log in, you're greeted by the dashboard.
Note:
To find a SteelConnect Manager instance, the SDI-2030 and SDI-5030 gateways requires internet access;
make sure the network provides a DHCP service so the SDI-2030 and SDI-5030 gateways can establish a
connection automatically.
