Overview

Learn how to cable the Secure Firewall 1230/1240/1250 so you can complete the initial hardware setup and prepare required ports for network connectivity before configuration.

  • Install SFP/SFP+ modules into Ethernet 1/9 and higher—The fixed ports are 1/10-Gbps SFP+ ports that require SFP/SFP+ modules.

  • See the hardware installation guide for more information.

  • If you use zero-touch provisioning, do not cable both the outside and the Management interface. This guide covers management on the outside interface, but you may want to use zero-touch provisioning on Management with high availability. If you use zero-touch provisioning on outside and want to use high availability, you will have to change the outside IP address to a static address after registration.
