5. Attach the power cord to the appliance and plug into a power source.
If your appliance has redundant power supplies, attach power cords to both
power supplies and plug them into separate power sources. Note that the
3D500/1000/2000 does not have a power switch. This device turns on when
you connect the power supply.
6. Turn on the appliance.
If you are using a direct Ethernet connection to set up the appliance, confirm
that the link LED is on for both the network interface on the local computer
and the management interface on the appliance. If the management interface
and network interface LEDs are not lit, try using a crossover cable. For more
information, see Cabling Inline Deployments on Copper Interfaces on
page 34.
7. Continue with the next chapter, Setting Up a Sourcefire 3D System Appliance
on page 86.
Redirecting Console Output
By default, Sourcefire appliances direct initialization status, or init, messages to
the VGA port. If you restore an appliance to factory defaults and delete its license
and network settings, the restore utility also resets console output to VGA. If you
want to use the physical serial port or SOL to access the console, Sourcefire
recommends you redirect console output to the serial port after you complete
initial setup.
TIP! 3D2100/2500/3500/4500 devices do not have functional serial ports.
To redirect console output, run a script from the appliance’s shell. The following
table lists the console you should use depending on the way you plan to access
the appliance.
