PIX 535 Network Interface Installation

Note If your PIX security appliance model supports a failover configuration, complete the steps that follow only on the active (primary) unit.

To connect interfaces to the PIX 535, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Connect the cable so that you have either a DB-9 or DB-25 connector on one end as required by the serial port for your computer, and the other end is the RJ-45 connector.

Note Use the Console port to connect to a computer to enter configuration commands. Locate the serial cable from the accessory kit. The serial cable assembly consists of a null modem cable with RJ-45 connectors, and one DB-9 connector and a DB-25 connector.

Step 2 Connect the cable to the PIX 535 RJ-45 Console connector port and connect the other end of the cable to the serial port connector on your computer.

Step 3 Connect the inside, outside, or perimeter network cables to the interface ports. Starting from the right and moving left, the connectors are Ethernet 0, Ethernet 1, Ethernet 2, and so forth. The maximum number of allowed interfaces is 8. The inside or outside network connections can be made to any available interface port on the PIX 535.

Note If you have a second PIX security appliance to use as a failover unit, install the failover feature and cable as described in the “Installing Failover” section on page 7-8.

Caution Do not power on the failover units until the active unit is configured.

Step 4 When you are ready to start the PIX 535, power on the unit from the switch at the rear of the unit.
