Connect Cables
Symantec recommends plugging in cables, verifying LEDs, and configuring and licensing
the appliance before rack-mounting it. If you would rather rack-mount the appliance before
performing configuration tasks, skip to
Step 7—Rack-Mount the Appliance
.
The following procedure describes a typical deployment for Content Analysis and ProxySG
appliances (as shown in the above illustration). For information on other deployments, see the
Administration & Reference WebGuide
.
Note:
Network cables are not included with the appliance. Make sure to use only straight-
through Ethernet cables. For 1000Base-T operation, Symantec recommends Category 5E cables
or better (Category 6 or 6A) for distances of 330 feet (100 meters).
To deploy the Content Analysis appliance and connect its cables:
a.
Deploy the
ProxySG
appliance:
o
Disconnect the Ethernet cable (if there is one) between the LAN switch and WAN router.
o
Connect the ProxySG appliance to the LAN switch with a network cable.
•
For SG S200 and SG S400 appliances, connect the
2:0
port to the LAN switch.
•
For SG S500 appliances, connect the
1:0
port to the LAN switch.
•
The appliance auto-negotiates 10/100/1000 Base-T speed and duplex settings.
o
Connect the ProxySG appliance to the WAN router with a network cable:
•
For SG S200 and SG S400 appliances, connect the
2:1
port to the WAN router.
•
For SG S500 appliances, connect the
1:1
port to the WAN router.
Note:
See the
ProxySG Quick Start Guide
for more information on ProxySG deployment.
b.
Deploy the
Content Analysis
appliance:
o
Connect the Content Analysis appliance’s
1:0
port to the ProxySG appliance with a
network cable. The appliance auto-negotiates the 10/100/1000 Base-T speed and duplex
settings.
o
Connect the Content Analysis appliance’s
SYS MGMT 0:0
port to the router leading to
the management network with a network cable.
Note:
The Content Analysis appliance must be managed through the SYS MGMT 0:0 port.
The SYS MGMT port is identified as simply
0:0
during initial configuration.
c.
Connect the Content Analysis appliance’s
DB9 seria
l port to a serial terminal or workstation
with terminal emulation software. Use the included null-modem cable. The serial connection
is used to perform the appliance’s initial configuration.
d.
For
CAS S500
appliances, attach the lug-
equipped end of the included grounding
wire (10 AWG) to both grounding studs
on the appliance, securing it with the
star washers and M5 nuts. Attach the
other end of the grounding wire to a
proper earth-ground.
e.
Connect the included AC power cord to the Content Analysis appliance’s power inlet on the
rear panel. Connect the other end of the power cord to a power source. If the appliance has a
second (redundant) power supply, connect it as well.
03
Power on the Appliance and Verify LEDs
To verify the appliance is operational:
a.
Confirm the appliance’s power cords are securely connected to a power source.
b.
If the appliance does not automatically power on, press the rear soft power switch.
Note:
The state of the appliance’s soft power switch (on or off) is retained when power is
removed. This may necessitate pressing the power switch when reapplying power to the
appliance.
c.
As the appliance boots, verify the following:
o
The Power LED turns amber.
o
Near the end of the boot cycle, the Power LED alternates between amber and green,
indicating an unconfigured state.
o
Following the initial configuration (see
Step 4
), the Power LED turns green. In addition, the
LCD displays system statistics, which can be scrolled through with the Left/Right Arrows.
The front-panel LEDs indicate the following states:
:
o
Power LED
(
•
) Off: Powered off
(
•
) Amber: Booting
(
•
) Amber/green alternating: Unconfigured
(
•
) Green: Powered on and configured
o
Sys Status LED
(
•
) Off: No status
(
•
) Green: Healthy
(
•
) Amber: Warning
(
*
) Amber blinking: Critical (or not licensed)
04
Perform the Initial Configuration
You must have the following network information to initialize the appliance:
o
Appliance IP address
o
Subnet mask
o
Primary DNS server IP address
o
Administrator username and
password
o
Default Gateway IP address
To perform the initial configuration for the appliance:
a.
Confirm the appliance’s DB9 serial port is connected to a serial terminal or workstation with
terminal emulation software.
b.
Open a terminal emulation program such as Microsoft HyperTerminal®, PuTTY, Tera Term, or
ProComm™.
c.
Configure the terminal emulation software to use the following settings:
o
Baud rate:
9600 bps
o
Data bits:
1
o
Parity:
none
o
Stops bits:
8
o
Flow control:
none
d.
Power on the appliance (if it is not already powered on) and, when prompted, press
Enter
three times.
e.
When prompted, enter network configuration parameters. If the appliance is connected to
a network, the
Initial Configuration Wizard
attempts to verify the DNS server address and
auto-detect link settings.
f.
When prompted, assign a
Username
and
Password
to the administrator account.
Note:
Following the initial configuration, the System Status LED blinks amber, indicating the
appliance has not yet been licensed (see
Step 5
).
05
