Connecting to the network and user interfaces from a TS-4200
This topic describes how to connect the TS-4200 series appliances to your network for remote management and regular use.
The system typically interfaces with the following user types:
- Operators who log in using a web browser to navigate the system's dashboards, reports, and analysis tools.
- Enterprise management software (EMS) applications that use SNMP to retrieve the health of users, functions, or servers at regular intervals.
- Extract, transform, and load (ETL) tools that download raw data in table format using HTTPS. Comma-separated data is then inserted into databases for offline analysis with Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) or business intelligence (BI) tools.
Before you begin
You must have completed the tasks described in Setting-up-traffic-capture-for-a-TS-4200.
To connect the device to a switch or router
- Connect one end of the white straight-through Ethernet cable to the management port the back of the appliance.
- Connect the other end to the switch or router that links to the system's network segment.
Initial configuration of the TS-4200 series is complete.
Where to go from here
You can now log into the system by accessing the IP address that was configured during the initial configuration tasks.
