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
