The front panel physical Gigabit Ethernet ports (labeled P1, P2, P3, and so on)
are mapped to Gigabit Ethernet (ge) interfaces. By default P1 is mapped to ge1,
P2 is mapped to ge2 and so on. By default ge1 is the LAN interface, ge2 and ge3
are combined as the WAN_TRUNK. The Ethernet management interface can only
be accessed from the LAN side by default. The default LAN IP address is
192.168.1.1; the default administrator login user name and password are “admin”
and “1234” respectively. P7 and P8 are GbE dual personality interfaces. A dual
personality interface includes one Gigabit port and one slot for a mini-GBIC
transceiver (SFP module) with one port active at a time.
