Placing The Network Active Bypass Unit And The Network Ips Appliances; Connecting The Power Cables; Logging Into The Management Interface - IBM 1G User Manual

Placing the Network Active Bypass unit and the Network IPS
appliances
Procedure
1. Decide where to place the Network Active Bypass unit and the Network IPS appliances.
2. Add the Network Active Bypass unit and the Network IPS appliances to the rack.
3. Connect the cable to the Network IPS appliances using the instructions provided in the Network IPS
GX Appliance Getting Started Guide available from the IBM Knowledge Center at http://
www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSB2MG/welcome.
Note: The Network Active Bypass unit uses four 1 Gb segments.

Connecting the power cables

Procedure
1. Plug the DC connector of each AC adapter into the Network Active Bypass unit.
2. Plug one of the power cables into an AC outlet. Plug the other power cable into an AC outlet serviced
by a different AC feed.
Tip: Use independent AC power sources to maximize power redundancy in the event of AC power
loss from a single source.
3. Check the power LEDs to confirm that the Network Active Bypass unit is receiving power.

Logging into the management interface

Procedure
1. Use the management cable (labeled "CAT5E") to connect a computer to the management port on the
Network Active Bypass unit.
Important: Make sure you follow industry best practices for securing your critical network
infrastructure. Do not connect the management port to any network that is open to external traffic.
The management port should be connected only to a restricted network that is dedicated to managing
the Network Active Bypass unit and the Network IPS appliances.
2. Start Internet Explorer.
3. Type https://192.168.0.111.
Note: The default IP address for the management port is 192.168.0.111. If you change the management
port IP address, the Web address to access the management port is changed to include the new IP
address.
4. Log in to the management interface. Use the default user name and password the first time you
connect to the management interface.
