Connecting
Fixed Interface Pair
Before delivery, two service interfaces with adjacent interface numbers form a Layer 2 interface pair (excluding WAN interfaces of
the NIP6305E, NIP6310E, and NIP6510E).
The interface pair is used to connect upstream and downstream devices in the in-line deployment whereas any interface of the
interface pair can be used in the off-line deployment. The following figure shows an example of such an interface pair.

The preceding figure uses the NIP6510E as an example to describe cabling.
1. Connect cables based on the selected deployment mode.
﹣ In-line deployment: Use the default interface pair to connect the upstream and downstream devices. The following uses the
GE0/0/6-GE0/0/7 interface pair as an example. The NIP is deployed in in-line mode to block intrusion traffic and protect the
intranet against attacks.
﹣ Off-line deployment: Use an independent interface to connect to the observing port of the switch on the primary link and
receive mirrored traffic from the switch. GE0/0/1 is used as an example. The NIP is deployed in off-line mode to record
intrusion event logs without blocking traffic.
2. Connect the WAN interface ( supported only by the NIP6305E, NIP6310E, and NIP6510E) or management interface to the
Internet to update the signature database.
Before delivery, only the management interface and WAN interface are Layer 3 interfaces. If interfaces excluding the
management and WAN interfaces are used to communicate with external devices, the interfaces must be switched to Layer 3
mode.
3. Connect the management PC to the management interface.
4. Connect the PGND cable and power cable. Then power on the device.
As device does not provide a power switch, it starts up immediately after receiving power. When the SYS indicator on the
panel is blinking (once every two seconds), the device is running and ready for configuration.
