l To configure locally (optional), use one of the following methods:
l Laptop with a video cable and a USB cable (for the keyboard)
l Video monitor with a video cable and keyboard with a USB cable
Connecting Your Appliance to the Network
Use the same procedure to connect each appliance to the network. The only difference
for connection is the type of appliance you have.
Do not update the appliance BIOS, as it may cause issues with appliance
functionality.
For detailed specification information about each appliance, refer to Stealthwatch
Specification Sheets.
The Cisco x2xx hardware all use the same UCS platform, UCSC-C220-M5SX,
except for the Flow Collector 5210 DB, which uses UCSC-C240-M5SX. The
variations in appliances are in NIC cards, processor, memory, storage and RAID.
The Flow Collector 5210 consists of two connected servers (engine and
database) so they function as a single appliance. Because of this, the
installation slightly differs from other appliances. First, connect them together
directly by a 10G SFP+ DA Cross Connect cable. Then, connect to your
network.
To connect your appliance to your network:
1.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the management port, at the rear of the appliance.
2.
Connect at least one monitor port for Flow Sensors and UDP Directors.
For the UDP Director HA, connect the two UDP Directors by crossover cables.
Connect the eth2 port of one UDP Director to the eth2 port of the second UDP
Director. Similarly, connect the eth3 port of each UDP Director with a second
crossover cable. The cable can be fiber or copper.
Be sure to note the Ethernet label (eth2, eth3, etc.) for each port. These labels
correspond to the network interfaces (eth2, eth3, etc.) that are displayed on, and
may be configured from, the Home page of the Appliance Admin interface.
