Hardware installation
Connecting managed devices
If you will use expansion modules with the Uplogix appliance, install them now (see next
section).
Without the optional expansion modules, the Uplogix appliance can monitor and manage up to
four separate network devices such as switches and routers.
Use the four serial ports on the front panel of the appliance to connect to the console ports of
up to four separate network devices.
To provide for dedicated TCP/IP connectivity to these devices, and additional diagnostic
features of the appliance, use the corresponding four Ethernet ports located on the front panel
and connect to an available Ethernet port on each of the devices that you want to monitor.
Note:
The white Cat 5e cables included with the Uplogix appliance can be used with both
serial and Ethernet ports.
Note:
The Uplogix appliance's Ethernet transceivers are configured for MDI, so it should not
require a crossover to connect this port to a switch, but when connecting to other end-point
devices such as routers and firewalls, the included crossover dongle may be necessary.
The User's Guide for Uplogix Secure Remote Management Appliances includes
information on configuring the appliance's device ports to work with the connected devices.
