NOTE

If you are using copper SFP transceivers, auto-negotiation must be enabled on the ET1000A and on the device that the ET1000A is connecting to. The recommended copper SFP transceivers negotiate only to

1 Gbps, even though they advertise other speeds. See the ETEP Release Notes for a list of recommended transceivers.

The remote port connects the ETEP to an untrusted network, which is typically a WAN, campus LAN, or MAN. The local port connects the ETEP to a device on the local, trusted side of the network, such as a server or a switch.

Transparent Mode

Transparent mode is the ETEP’s default mode of operation on the local and remote ports. It is appropriate for Layer 2 policies and for most distributed key policies. When operating in transparent mode the ETEP
