network traffic passes. These interfaces are multi-mode, but they
do not support 10/100 communications.
On each side of the two Gigabit interfaces are three LEDs labeled
RX, TX,
and
Link
.
The
Link
LED is lit when a connection is active.
The
RX
LED blinks steadily when data packets are being received
by the appliance.
The
TX
LED blinks steadily when data packets are being
transmitted.
HA interfaces
Two Ethernet interfaces, labelled
HA1
and
HA2
enable you to
connect with a cross-over Ethernet cable to other High
Availability-ready Firebox Vclass appliances for failover (backup)
protection. Incorporated into the two high-availability Ethernet
ports are two indicator lights labeled
10
and
100
. These LEDs
indicate the speed traffic is transmitted.
HA status LED
Indicates the current status of this appliance, if it is one of two
connected as a high-availability system. If this is the primary
appliance, and the light is on and steady, the system is functional,
and this appliance is online. If this is the primary appliance and
the LED is blinking, a failover has occurred and the secondary
appliance is online.
For more information on HA setup, see the
System Administration
Guide
.
Console interface
A single RJ-45 interface, labelled
Console
, supports a direct
workstation-to-appliance connection. You can use the
WatchGuard Command Line Interface (CLI) to administer and
test this appliance. To learn more about this administrative option,
see the
CLI User Guide
included on the installer CD.
Reset port
Allows you to insert a straight pin or paperclip and press an
internal Reset switch that restarts the appliance. This is an
alternative to unplugging and replugging the power cord.
