The default management Ethernet interface for the E7 is any of the GESW interfaces (the first is
normally used) and this should be connected to the same network as the management
workstation (or a network accessible from the workstation via one or more switches).
Typically, the connection is made via a switch in the network, as shown in the illustration above,
using regular Ethernet cables.
For connection to the public Internet, another interface should be connected to an ISP and this is
referred to in the setup wizard as the
WAN
interface. In this guide, it is assumed that the physical
G2 interface of the E7 is used for Internet connection although it could be any other unused
interface.
Using Crossover Cables
Connection to the management interface from the workstation can be done directly without a
switch. This is usually done by using a crossover cable. However, all the interfaces on the E7
support Automatic MDI-X and a crossover cable is not necessary.
Workstation Ethernet Interface Setup
The only requirement for the Ethernet interface used for connection on the management
workstation is that DHCP is enabled. cOS Core automatically enables a DHCP server on the
security gateway's GESW interfaces and this allocates the required IP addresses to the
workstation computer using DHCP.
If the workstation is configured manually, the following settings should be used:
•
IP address:
192.168.1.30
•
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
•
Default gateway:
192.168.1.1
