Getting Started
GX5000 Series Appliance
Welcome
Congratulations on your new appliance!
This card will help you do the following:
Connect the Appliance
Configure Appliance Settings
Connect to Proventia Manager
Install the Product License
Update the Appliance
After you finish these tasks, the
IBM Proventia
®
Network
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) User Guide
walks you
through other important tasks, such as:
• Setting up appliance management
• Configuring your security policies, including specifying
events and responses
• Creating firewall rules to protect your network
• Tracking alerts
• Monitoring important system information
Requirements:
• Power cord(s)
• Proventia serial console cable (blue)
• Ethernet crossover cable (red)
• For each inline segment:*
- A pair of Ethernet cables, straight-through or
crossover, depending on your network type
- A crossover adapter
• Additional Ethernet cables as needed
• PC with Internet Explorer and Internet connection
*IBM provides one crossover adapter and two one-foot Ethernet cables
(green) per segment.
LCD Controller Module
Used for initial network configuration, restarting or shutting
down the appliance and obtaining IPS version information
Protected Ports
Used for either inline intrusion prevention (IPS mode) or
passive intrusion detection (IDS mode). Inline prevention
uses a pair of ports per segment. Passive detection uses a
single port per segment.
Note: Your port configuration may look slightly different depending on the
combination of fiber and copper you selected.
Serial Console Port
Used for optional terminal-based setup and recovery
Reference Key
USB Ports
Management Ports
Management port 1 is used to
communicate with Proventia Manager
and SiteProtector
®
Management System
Management port 2 is used exclusively
for sending RSKill (TCP Reset) responses
