The xFilter chassis is designed for rack mounting in a 19-inch equipment rack and occupies one rack unit. Each mounting slide has two components that comprise the slide: an outer member and an inner member.

To rack mount the xFilter chassis: 1. Align and fasten the inner rail extensions to both sides

of the xFilter chassis using two screws on each side.

2. Attach the outer rails to the outside of the front outer rails, aligning the pins with the slides.

Both rail ends must face in the same direction.

3. Adjust the outer rails to the proper distance so that the railsfittogethersnuglyintherack.

4. Secure the front outer rails to the front rack posts using two screws and washers on each side of the equipment rack.

5. Secure the rear outer rails to the rear back posts using two screws and washers on each side of the equipment rack.

6. Slide the xFilter chassis into the rack by aligning the inner rails with the outer rails and pushing the chassis in until you hear the locking tabs click into position.

Connecting to the NetworkThe xFilter unit has six (XFX-600) or twelve (XFX-1200)Ethernet ports and two management ports, all of which are configurable:

• eth0––eth11: 10-Gigabit ports that support SFP+ Fiber transceivers.Theseportscanbeconfiguredasingressandegressportsforcapturednetworktraffic.

• mgmt0––mgmt1: 1G ports can be used for manage-ment.

To connect the xFilter unit to your network:1. Connect cables to the Ethernet ports that you are going

to use. They are numbered from right to left, facing the rear panel, eth0 through eth11.

2. See the xFilter Appliance User Guide, part number 800-0215-001, forconfigurationdetails.

Configuring xFilterAllconfigurationoptions,status,andstatisticsare accessible from the command-line interface (CLI).

To get started:1. Connect power to each of the redundant power supplies

located at the rear of the unit.

For true redundancy, make sure each power supply is on a separate power circuit.

2. Connect a monitor and a USB keyboard to the device. A login prompt displays.

3. At the login prompt, type admin and, at the password prompt, enter netoptics.

4. Enter the following commands to assign a new IP address to Management port 0:Net Optics#interface mgmt0 if-mgmt0#ip A.B.C.D/M if-mgmt0#commit

where A.B.C.D is the IP address and M is the subnet mask you need to assign to the xFilter unit for your network. M is netmask in CIDR: 24 (=255.255.255.0), 16 (=255.255.0.0), 8 (=255.0.0.0), etc.

Accessing xFilter Remotely After you initially assign the IP address and subnet mask using the local CLI, you can access xFilter remotely using SSH.

1. Connect the Management port 0 to a switch or hub using a CAT5 cable.

2. Open a terminal window on a PC that is connected to the network.
