Installing Director

This chapter describes how to install and connect Director devices. The procedure for installing Director follows these basic steps:

1.Plan the installation

2.Unpack and inspect the Director device

3.Install the DNM modules

4.Install the SFP and XFP modules

5.Rack mount the Director device

6.Connect power to Director

7.Connect the command line interface (CLI) RS-232 DB9 port or the Management port

8.Log into the CLI

9.Configure Director parameters using the CLI

10.Connect Director to the network with Span ports and in-line links

11.Connect the monitoring tools to Director

12.Configure a Matrix Switch connection in Director

13.Check the installation

This chapter pertains to installing a single Director. Chapter 4 addresses daisy-chaining up to 10 Director chassis into a single logical system.
