Connecting the Device to a Network 25
Connecting the Device to an Internal Network or a Workstation
You can connect your local area network (LAN) or workstation with the Ethernet
interfaces.
An SSG 140 device contains ten Ethernet ports. You can use one or more of these
ports to connect to LANs through switches or hubs. You can also connect one or all
of the ports directly to workstations, eliminating the need for a hub or switch. You
can use either crossover or straight-through cables to connect the Ethernet ports to
other devices. See “Default Device Settings” on page 30 for the default
zone-to-interface bindings.
