SSG 500 M Series Hardware Installation and Configuration Guide
30 Connecting a Device to a Network
To remove power completely from the device, unplug the power cord. The power
button on the device is a standby power switch.
Connecting a Device to a Network
An SSG 500M Series device provides firewall and general security for networks
when it is placed between internal networks and the untrusted network. This
section describes the following:
Connecting a Device to an Untrusted Network
Connecting PIMs to an Untrusted Network
Connecting an Internal Network or a Workstation
Connecting a Device to an Untrusted Network
You can connect a device to the untrusted network using one of the following ways:
Connecting a Device Using Ethernet Ports
Connecting a Device Using Serial (AUX) Ports
To add an SSG 550M device to a network (Figure 21), perform the following steps:
1. Connect an RJ-45 crossover cable from the port labeled 0/0 (ethernet0/0
interface) to the internal switch. The ethernet0/0 interface is prebound to the
Trust security zone.
2. Connect an RJ-45 crossover cable from the port labeled 0/1 (ethernet0/1
interface) to the DMZ switch. The ethernet0/1 interface is prebound to the DMZ
security zone.
3. Connect an RJ-45 crossover cable from the port labeled 0/2 (ethernet0/2
interface) to the external switch or router. The ethernet0/2 interface is
prebound to the Untrust security zone.
4. Connect an RJ-45 straight-through cable from the Console port using the
instructions provided in “Using a Console Connection” on page 35 for
management access.
CAUTION: If the device is connected to an AC power-source receptacle when you
press the power button to power off, the device remains in standby mode, and a
small amount (5 V and 3.3 V) of standby voltage is still available in the chassis.
