Connecting an ANG-1000

The ANG-1000 is equipped with two 8-pin modular RJ-45 Ethernet ports
labeled Trusted and External. The Trusted port should be connected to a
network segment residing behind a firewall or a router that provides network
protection. The External port should be connected to an Ethernet network
segment residing outside a firewall. In this configuration, the ANG performs
some routing functions and ensures that only GRE packets from authorized
sources pass into the corporate network.
To connect ANG-1000 Ethernet ports, perform the following steps:
