Connecting the
HP EFS WAN
Accelerator to
Your Network
You use CAT-5E straight-through and cross-over cables to connect to your network in
an in-path configuration. Make sure you use the correct cables to establish your
network connections:
Straight-through cables. Use straight-through cables to connect the NIC1
(Primary) and LAN ports on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator to the LAN switch.
Cross-over cable. Use the cross-over cable to connect the WAN port on the HP
EFS WAN Accelerator to the WAN router.
To connect the HP EFS
WAN Accelerator to
your network
1. Plug the straight-through cable into the NIC1 (Primary) port of the HP EFS WAN
Accelerator and the LAN switch. (This can be any port on your LAN switch that
acts as a host.)
For the HP ProLiant DL320-520, DL320-1020, and DL320-2020, refer to
Figure 2-4 on page 29, item 6.
For the HP ProLiant DL380-3010 and DL380-5010, refer to Figure 2-5 on
page 30, item 9.
2. Identify the straight-through cable that connects your WAN router to your LAN
switch. Unplug the end connected to the WAN router.
