Interface Modules
10/100 – The 10/100 Mbps fast ethernet interface module is appropriate for a 10/100 Base-T LAN.
Connect the ports using a twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. (See “Connecting the Device to a
Network” on page 24 for cabling guidelines.)
The ISG 2000 supports a maximum port count of 28. If there is an 8-port 10/100
interface module in each bay, then ports five through eight on the module in bay 4
are disabled. Under this circumstance, these ports are unavailable for firewall and
Compact Flash Slot – The compact flash slot is for
downloading or uploading system software or
configuration files, and for saving log files to a
compact flash card.
To download or upload, execute the CLI command
save:
save { software | config } from
{ flash | slot1 filename } to
{ flash | slot1 filename }
where flash refers to internal flash memory, slot1
refers to the compact flash slot, and
filename
is the
name of the software or configuration file on the
card.
For example, the following command downloads the
current device configuration to a file named
ns2000_config on a card in the compact flash slot:
save config from flash to slot1
ns2000_config
Management Interfaces – The following table shows the three
management interfaces that ISG 2000 offers:
Port Description
Console This RJ-45 serial port is for local configuration and
administration using the CLI. Connect the console
port to your workstation using an RJ-45 female to
DB-9 male straight-through serial cable.
Modem This RJ-45 serial port is for connecting to a modem,
allowing you to establish a remote console session
using a dialup connection through a 9600 bps
modem. The terminal type for dialup sessions must
be vt100. (For security reasons, it is advisable to use a
modem only for troubleshooting or for a one-time
configuration, not for regular remote administration.)
10/100 MGT This management port has a fixed 10/100 Base-T
interface and provides a dedicated, out-of-band
connection for management traffic. It has a separate
IP address and netmask, configurable with the CLI or
WebUI. The MGT port is not capable of routing traffic
to other interfaces. This port is only to be used for
management purposes. The default IP address for the
MGT port is 192.168.1.1.
