Plan the Installation

Before you begin the installation of your Director device, determine the following:

•IP address of the Director device, or a range of IP addresses if you are deploying multiple Director devices

•Net Mask for Director

•IP address of the remote management console, if deployed over a WAN; this address is used for SNMP traps

•Gateway to the remote management console, if deployed over a WAN

•Port assignments and filters for the Network and Monitor port connections

Make sure you have a suitable location to install the Director device. For power redundancy, use two independent power sources.

Unpack and Inspect the Director device

•(1) Director device
