5.1 Connecting to WAN
This section provides a description on how to cable the WAN port. The cabling procedure
depends on the WAN interface:

Copper Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) – see Section 5.1.1 on page 24

Fiber-optic GbE – see Section 5.1.2 on page 25

ADSL2+ and VDSL2 – see Section 5.1.3 on page 26

3G Cellular USB modem – see Section 5.1.4 on page 28
Note: The device supports WAN redundancy, whereby multiple WAN interfaces can
serve as backups for the primary or a backup WAN interface. For example, if the main
WAN interface is Copper GbE and it fails, the device switches over to the fiber-optic
WAN interface. If this WAN interface also fails, the device switches over to the 3G WAN
interface, and so on. For configuring WAN redundancy, refer to the CLI Reference Guide.
