Hardware Features
Step 2 Connect Fast Ethernet ports on both the LAN and the WAN sides of the WAE inline appliance by using the following cable types:
•On the LAN side of the connection, use a
•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 WAE inline appliance, use a
If you are connecting two switches (or two similar devices), use
Figure 1-17 through Figure 1-19 show the cables to use for the WAE LAN and WAN connections between Fast Ethernet ports.
Installation Scenarios and Cabling Examples for Fast Ethernet Connections
WAE appliances can be installed physically between two network devices (such as the branch office router and branch office LAN switch) by connecting the WAE inline network adapter ports to the network devices using the proper cables.
If you are connecting a WAE inline appliance between two devices using Gigabit Ethernet, you can use either
The inline network adapter has four ports that are divided into two inline groups (see the “Ports and LED Indicators” section on page
