DESCRIPTION

 

 

WAN 10/100

Connect a firewall, switch or cable/DSL modem to this port depending on where

 

you deploy the ZyWALL IDP (see Figure 2).

 

 

LAN 10/100

Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect a computer to this port or use a straight-

 

through Ethernet cable to connect a hub. This port is auto-negotiating (can connect

 

at 10 or 100Mbps).

 

 

MGMT

Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect a computer to this port in order to

 

manage the ZyWALL IDP using the web configurator. You can also manage the

 

ZyWALL IDP via the LAN or WAN port, but the MGMT port is dedicated for

 

management. If you manage the ZyWALL IDP via the LAN or WAN port then the

 

ZyWALL IDP itself may be susceptible to being compromised.
