3.2 Setup Steps

• Internet cable connected to WAN1.
• Laptop connect to LAN.
• Power on.
• Set laptop adapter to "obtain an IP address automatically" or assign a static IP "192.168.10.x".

3.3 Configuration Wizard

• Navigate to: http://192.168.10.1
• Username: admin, password: 123456
• Choose "Gateway" as the "deployment type" and setup the WAN interface(s), interface map:
  • eth0 -> LAN
  • eth1 -> WAN1
  • eth2 -> WAN2
  • eth3 -> WAN3
  • eth4 -> WAN4
  • eth5 -> WAN5
• For PPPoE, you need to input correct username/password from your ISP.

4 Bridge Deployment

4.1 Topology

• Each bridge have two ports. For example, you can bridge "LAN" and "WAN1" ports together:
• The WSG device shall sit between router/firewall and core switch.
• The core switch shall be connected to the LAN port.
• Router/firewall shall be connected to the WAN1 port.

4.2 Setup Steps

• Laptop connect to LAN.
• Power on.
• Set laptop adapter to "obtain an IP address automatically" or assign a static IP "192.168.10.x".

4.3 Configuration Wizard

• Navigate to: http://192.168.10.1
• Username: admin, password: 123456
• Choose "Bridge" as the "deployment type" and setup:
• Management IP address: a valid local subnet IP address for web UI management.
• Gateway: for WSG appliance to access internet for upgrade.
• Subnet: lan subnets to be managed, for example: 192.168.1.0/24(can be different subnet to the management IP).
• Please note: when bridge management IP is applied, you need to modify laptop IP and re-access web UI via the new IP address.
• Please note: if bridge is in a different subnet, you need to add "static routing" in "Config"->"Routing".
• Please note: if bridge ip is unreachable, you can set a separate management interface.

5 Passby Deployment

• You need to setup a mirroring port in your switch first.
• The observ port shall be connected to the mirroring port.
• The management port is for NGF system to access network. Management port VLAN shall be able to reach the client VLANs.
