RJ45 Ethernet connectors

These interfaces have to be connected to other network appliances with an RJ45 Ethernet cable. Details on how to connect SNxr1200 model firewalls are given in the section RJ45 Ethernet cabling on the SNxr1200 model below.

NOTE
A crossover cable is delivered with the Stormshield Network firewall. This is a Category 5e cable, for running in 10Mbe, 100Mbe, 1Gbe  or 2.5Gbe. Check the compatibility of your devices.

Connectors

The Ethernet (1Gbe, 2.5Gbe or 10Gbe) ports of the Stormshield Network SN range are configured in auto-sense mode, meaning that they adapt to the configuration of the Ethernet port on the appliance to which they are connected. These ports are therefore compatible with straight or crossover RJ45 Ethernet cables.

On SN710, SN910, SN-M-Series-520, SN-M-Series-720, SN-M-Series-920, SN1100, SN2100, SN3100 and SN6100 models, Ethernet RJ45 ports can be added by inserting extension modules.

WARNING
Keep data cables some distance away from any source of electromagnetic interference such as mains cables, radio transmitters, fluorescent tubes, etc.

IN/OUT definition

The OUT 1 or "External" network port is reserved for the modem or Internet router.

Access to this interface is blocked by default, you will therefore not be able to access the configuration interface from this port.

To access your firewall from a client workstation, you will need to connect on the IN 2 or “Internal” port, or on another port (except port 1).

For further information regarding the startup procedure of your firewall, refer to the section Initial connection to the product.
