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

Carefully unpack the Director device, power supplies, and all cables that are provided. Director is delivered with the following:

•(1) Director device
