Cascading Your Appliance

The UTM-1 appliance protects all computers and network devices that are connected to its LAN and DMZ ports. If desired, you can increase the appliance's port capacity by cascading hubs or switches.

To cascade the UTM-1 appliance to a hub or switch

1. Connect a standard Ethernet cable to one of the appliance's LAN ports or to its DMZ/WAN2 Ethernet port.

   The UTM-1 appliance automatically detects cable types, so you can use either a straight-through or crossed Ethernet cable.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to an Ethernet hub or switch.
3. Connect additional computers and network devices to the hub or switch as desired.
