Install the Discover appliance
To install the Discover appliance, complete the following steps.
1.
Rack Mount the Discover appliance
Install the Discover appliance in your data center using the included rack-mounting kit, which supports
most four-post racks with either round or square holes.
2.
Connect Port 1
The Discover appliance contains four 10/100/1000 BASE-T network ports and uses the Gb1 port to
administer the system. Use a network patch cable to connect the Gb1 port on the Discover appliance
to the management network.
Configure an IP address
DHCP is enabled by default on the ExtraHop appliance. When you power on the appliance, interface 1
attempts to acquire an IP address through DHCP. If successful, the IP address appears on the home
screen of the LCD. If an IP address has not been configured, the LCD displays
No IP
