SteelCentral™ NetExpress Appliance Installation Guide 1
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
This guide describes installing the Riverbed® SteelCentral™ NetExpress. It assumes that the product has already been
mounted in the rack as described for SteelCentral model xx70 series products in the
Rack Installation Guide .
It describes preparations, cabling the product, configuring it on your network, activating the licenses, and verifying that
the appliance is receiving and processing traffic data. When these tasks are completed, NetExpress is ready to configure
operationally. Operational configuration is described in the online help system of each product.
This guide also describes downloading new software from the Riverbed Support site and installing it, in case you
choose to do that instead of running the factory-installed software.
Command Line Interface access to NetExpress is supported for only initial setup and maintenance purposes. Installing
additional software or modifying configurations via the command line interface are not supported and may cause
unexpected behavior or stability issues.
