Data interfaces
Key features of the Firebox V60 and V80 appliances
which are discussed in the System Administration
Guide.
The Admin LED is lit whenever a system
administrator is currently connected to the
appliance by means of the Vcontroller software or
by means of a terminal window and the
WatchGuard CLI.
The Ready LED is steadily lit when the appliance is
ready for network traffic. (This LED will blink
when the appliance is powering up or powering
down.)
Four accelerated Ethernet interfaces (RJ-45
connectors) labeled 0 (Private), 1 (Public), 2
(DMZ1), and 3 (DMZ2) act as the primary
conduits through which passes all of the network
data traffic. Note that 3 is not currently active, and
should not be used for data traffic.
Incorporated into each Ethernet interface are two
indicator lights labeled 10 and 100. These LEDs
indicate (1) a connection to a hub or direct-connect
workstation is active, (2) the speed of the link (10
Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet), and (3) that traffic is
being transmitted.
When a cable is first plugged into a RJ-45 interface,
either the 10 or the 100 LED should be lit. This
indicates that there is a successful link between the
Firebox Vclass appliance and the network or a
computer. If the light doesn't turn on, check that
the cable is securely connected to the proper
interface on each end.
Make sure, too, that the cable is the correct type
for the connection. If connecting the Firebox
Vclass appliance to a hub or switch, a straight-
through cable is needed (two 3-ft. 10/100 cables are
provided). If connecting directly to a computer, a
crossover cable is required (a 6-ft. 10/100 crossover
cable is provided).
