Cable Requirements for WAVE Connections Using Fast Ethernet
(continued)
On the LAN side of the connection, use a straight-through cable between the
WAVE inline appliance and the network device.
On the WAN side of the connection, use the cable that is different from the
cable that you would use to connect the two network devices directly (as
determined in Step 1).
For example, if you are connecting a router and a switch (two different
devices) through the WAVE inline appliance, use a straight-through cable on
the LAN side of the connection and use a crossover cable on the WAN side
of the connection. (If you were connecting the two different devices directly,
you would use a straight-through cable, so use the crossover cable instead.)
If you are connecting two switches (or two similar devices), use
straight-through cables on both the LAN and the WAN sides of the WAVE
inline appliance.
