SSG 500 M Series Hardware Installation and Configuration Guide
32 Connecting a Device to a Network
3. Arrange the cable as follows to prevent it from dislodging or developing stress
points:
a. Secure the cable so that it is not supporting its own weight as it hangs to
the floor.
b. Place any excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop.
c. Use fasteners to maintain the shape of the cable loops.
Connecting an Internal Network or a Workstation
You can connect your local area network (LAN) or workstation with the Ethernet
interfaces. An SSG 500M Series device contains four built-in Ethernet ports. You
can use one or more of these ports to connect to LANs through switches or hubs.
You can also connect one or all of the ports directly to workstations, eliminating the
need for a hub or switch. You can use either crossover or straight-through cables to
connect the Ethernet ports to other devices. See “Default Device Settings” on
page 34 for the default zone-to-interface bindings.
