60 Installing the 7100 Series Cabling Note: Follow the cabling instructions carefully to match each in-line interface pair with its associated port group on the bypass unit. Connect in-line pair 0 (ports 0/1 on the appliance) to port group 0 on the bypass unit. Connect in-line pair 1 on the 7160 to port group 1 on the bypass unit. Connect in-line pair 2 to port group 2, and connect in-line pair 3 to port group 3. The Net A port of each port group on the bypass unit is implemented as 10/100/1000Base-TX. You may need a crossover cable to connect Net A to some devices. The Net B port of each port group is implemented as 10/100/1000Base-T. Consult the documentation for your network devices to determine whether they require crossover connections. The following procedures do not anticipate the type of cable. It is up to you to select a crossover cable if your network device requires one. The link parameters, including speed and duplex mode, should be auto-negotiated between Net A and App A, and Net B and App B. Do not force the link speed or duplex mode to a specific setting on network devices that connect to Net A or Net B. See "About the In-line Bypass unit" on page 35. To connect the bypass unit App A and App B ports to the 7160 in-line pair, use the Ethernet cables provided with the bypass unit. Note: After connecting the bypass unit to the 7100 Series and powering both on, all port groups are initially in bypass mode. To change the port group to online mode, you must start a sensor on the in-line pair that is connected to that port group. Event detection can occur only when the port group is in online mode. See "Starting a sensor on an appliance interface" on page 115. To cable in-line pair 0 with port group 0 1 Shut down the 7160 appliance if it is running. 2 On the bypass unit, connect Net A of port group 0 to one side of the network. 3 Connect App A of port group 0 to port 0 on your appliance. 4 Connect App B of port group 0 to port 1 on your appliance. 5 On the bypass unit, connect Net B of port group 0 to the other side of the network. 6 Using the USB cable, plug one USB connector into either USB port on the 7160 appliance, and plug the other connector into the Mgmt USB port on the 4 In-line Bypass unit.

Installing the 7100 Series

Cabling

Note:

Follow the cabling instructions carefully to match each in-line interface

pair with its associated port group on the bypass unit. Connect in-line pair 0

(ports 0/1 on the appliance) to port group 0 on the bypass unit. Connect in-line

pair 1 on the 7160 to port group 1 on the bypass unit. Connect in-line pair 2 to

port group 2, and connect in-line pair 3 to port group 3.

The Net A port of each port group on the bypass unit is implemented as

10/100/1000Base-TX. You may need a crossover cable to connect Net A to some

devices. The Net B port of each port group is implemented as

10/100/1000Base-T. Consult the documentation for your network devices to

determine whether they require crossover connections.

The following procedures do not anticipate the type of cable. It is up to you to

select a crossover cable if your network device requires one.

The link parameters, including speed and duplex mode, should be

auto-negotiated between Net A and App A, and Net B and App B. Do not force the

link speed or duplex mode to a specific setting on network devices that connect

to Net A or Net B.

See

“About the In-line Bypass unit”

on page 35.

To connect the bypass unit App A and App B ports to the 7160 in-line pair, use

the Ethernet cables provided with the bypass unit.

Note:

After connecting the bypass unit to the 7100 Series and powering both on,

all port groups are initially in bypass mode. To change the port group to online

mode, you must start a sensor on the in-line pair that is connected to that port

group. Event detection can occur only when the port group is in online mode.

See

“Starting a sensor on an appliance interface”

on page 115.

To cable in-line pair 0 with port group 0

Shut down the 7160 appliance if it is running.

On the bypass unit, connect Net A of port group 0 to one side of the network.

Connect App A of port group 0 to port 0 on your appliance.

Connect App B of port group 0 to port 1 on your appliance.

On the bypass unit, connect Net B of port group 0 to the other side of the

network.

Using the USB cable, plug one USB connector into either USB port on the

7160 appliance, and plug the other connector into the Mgmt USB port on

the 4 In-line Bypass unit.
