IDP250 Installation Guide

3.Slide the clip into the transceiver port until it clicks into place. Because the fit is close, you may have to apply some pressure to seat the clip. Apply pressure evenly and gently to avoid clip breakage.

To remove a Gigabit Ethernet cable from a transceiver:

1.Hold the cable clip firmly but gently between your thumb and forefinger with your thumb on top of the clip and your finger under the clip.

2.Use your thumb to gently press the clip ejector on top of the clip. Press down then forward to loosen the clip from the transceiver port.

3.Gently but firmly pull the clip from the transceiver port.

Verifying Traffic Flow

Purpose After you have installed the appliance, run the initial network configuration, and connected the appliance to your network, you can perform the following procedure to verify traffic flows through the appliance.

Action To verify that traffic is flowing through the appliance:

1.Make sure the appliance is connected to a live traffic feed.

2.Connect to the IDP command-line interface:

Use SSH to connect to the IP address or hostname for the management interface. Log in as admin and enter su – to switch to root.

If you prefer, make a connection through the serial port and log in as root.

3.Type sctop and press Enter.
