38Initial Setup

Ports

When installing a VPN Gateway (or any of the other supported hardware models) in a new cluster, or adding a VPN Gateway to an existing cluster, you are asked to specify a port number by the Setup utility.

The port number you specify refers to a physical port on the Network Interface Card (NIC) of a particular hardware model.

Depending on your model, the Setup utility will automatically detect the number of available ports and display the valid range within square brackets when prompting for a port number.

•The VPN Gateway 3050 has four copper port NICs (numbered as 1-4).

•The VPN Gateway 3070 comes in two versions:

—One with four copper port NICs (numbered as 1-4).

—One with two copper port NICs (number as 1-2) and two fiber-optic ports (numbered as 3-4).

•The ASA 410 Copper NIC has two copper port NICs (numbered as 1-2).

•The ASA 410 Fiber NIC has two copper port NICs (numbered as 1-2) and one Gigabit fiber-optic port NIC for Gigabit Ethernet (numbered as 3).

•The ASA 310-FIPS has two copper port NICs (numbered as 1-2).

•The SSL Processor on the Nortel Application Switch 2424-SSL has only one port that is internally connected to the Switch through back-to-back Gigabit interfaces.

Each port should be marked with the appropriate number on the device. If not, see the Alteon SSL Accelerator 310, 310-FIPS, 410 Hardware Installation Guide and the VPN 3050/3070 Hardware Installation Guide respectively.
