ETWORK
The following sections describe how to connect your NetScreen-5XP system to your
network.
Connecting the Device to an External Router or
Modem
You can establish a high-speed connection to an external router, DSL modem, or cable
modem, and provide firewall and general security for your network. Connect the white,
straight-through cable from the Untrusted interface on the NetScreen-5XP device to the
external router or modem.
Connecting the Device to Your Internal Network,
Workstation, or Devices
You can connect the NetScreen-5XP device to a LAN (via an internal switch or hub) or
directly to your workstation. There are two ways to create this connection:
• If you have a LAN, connect the colored cross-over cable from the Trusted
interface on the NetScreen-5XP device to the internal switch or hub.
• If you are connecting to a single workstation, get another straight-through cable
and connect it from the Trusted interface on the NetScreen-5XP device directly
to the Ethernet port on the workstation.
