48 Nokia EM5400 IP Security Platform (IP260 and IP265 Appliances) Installation Guide
Ethernet Features
The Ethernet interface supports tracing through tcpdump.
You can configure and monitor Ethernet interfaces with
Nokia Network
Voyager or the command-line interface (CLI). Specifically, you set the port
speed and full-duplex or half-duplex mode by using
Network Voyager or the
CLI.
For information about how to access
Network Voyager and the related
reference materials, see “Using Nokia Network Voyager to Manage Your
Appliance” on page 42.
For information about how to access the CLI, see the Nokia CLI Reference
Guide for the version of
Nokia IPSO you are using.
After the power is turned on, the Ethernet link LEDs on the appliance and on
the remote equipment illuminate to indicate the connection. As data is
transmitted, the activity LEDs on the appliance illuminates.
Connecting to Ethernet Ports
Caution
Cables that connect to the Ethernet card must be IEEE 802.3
compliant to prevent potential data loss.
To connect to a 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps hub, use a straight-through RJ-45
cable.
To connect directly to a host, use an RJ-45 crossover cable.
Use IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX CAT5 unshielded twisted-pair,
full-duplex or half-duplex cable.
You can order appropriate adapter cables separately. You can order additional
cables from a cable vendor of your choice.
