Rockwell Automation Publication 1783-UM010C-EN-P - June 2019 7
Preface
The Stratix® 5950 Security Appliance User Manual provides a product
overview and explains how to connect and configure the security appliance.
This manual is intended for people who have a high level of technical ability.
Experience with Cisco software is not a prerequisite.
This manual describes the appliance and pertinent features for the
out-of-the-box Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) architecture
configuration scenarios. Common Rockwell Automation® use cases include:
• Inline Transparent Mode
• Inline Transparent Monitor-only Mode
•Inline Routed Mode
• Passive Monitor-only Mode
This publication describes the embedded software features and tools to
configure and manage the security appliance. In addition, this publication
provides information to help you resolve basic security configuration and
network issues.
This manual assumes that you understand the following:
• Local area network (LAN) switch fundamentals
• Concepts and terminology of the Ethernet protocol and local area
networking
• Proficient with CLI command-line programming language
This manual is intended for users of the appliance. We assume that you are
familiar with the procedures in the Stratix 5950 Security Appliance
Installation Instructions, publication 1783-IN002
.
The publication, Deploying Industrial Firewalls within a Converged Plantwide
Ethernet Architecture Design and Implementation Guide, provides detailed
information about CPwE.
Subject mater authorities at Cisco and Rockwell Automation® developed a
collection of tested and validated architectures known as CPwE. Rockwell
Automation follows the Cisco Validated Design (CVD) program. The content
of CPwE is relevant to both Operational Technology (OT) and Informational
Technology (IT) disciplines and consists of documented architectures, proven
approaches, guidance, and configuration settings. CPwE architectures help
manufacturers with design and deployment of a scalable, robust, secure, and
future-ready, plant-wide industrial network infrastructure. CPwE also helps
manufacturers to achieve the benefits of cost reductions by using proven
designs, which can help lead to quicker deployment of new technology with
reduced risk.
Read and understand this manual and CPwE before using the products.
Consult your Rockwell Automation representative if you have any questions
or comments.
