III. Connecting an Ethernet cable
Take the fixed 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet 1 port on the front panel of the H3C SecPath
F1000-A firewall for example. Follow these steps to connect its Ethernet cable:
Caution:
For each fixed Ethernet interface (for example, 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet 1 on the
H3C SecPath F1000-A firewall), if both of its electrical and optical ports are connected,
the electrical port is regarded as the operating port by default.
1) Connect the Ethernet electrical port
Caution:
Read the mark above the port to be connected carefully, making sure it is the correct
port.
Step 1: Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the electrical port of the 10/100/1000
Mbps Ethernet 1 and the other end to the peer device.
Step 2: Check the status of the LINK LED for the Ethernet 1 interface. ON means the Rx
link is present. OFF means no Rx link is present; check the line for the cause.
2) Connect the optical Ethernet port
Caution:
In connecting the fiber cable, observe the following:
Do not over-bend the fiber cable. Its curvature radius must be greater than 10 cm (3.9
in.).
Ensure that the Tx and Rx ends are correctly connected.
Ensure that the fiber ends are clean.
