Connecting Ethernet cables
Connecting a copper Ethernet port
You can use either a straight-through or a cross-over network cable. For more information about Ethernet
twisted pair cables, see "Ethernet twisted pair cable."
To connect a copper Ethernet port:
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the copper Ethernet port of the firewall, and the other end
to the Ethernet port of the peer device.
2. Examine whether the LEDs of the Ethernet port are normal. For more information about LEDs, see
"MPU LEDs."
After you connect the firewall to the network, use the ping or tracert command to examine network
connectivity. For more information, see the related command reference.
Connecting a fiber port
The firewall supports GE SFP transceiver modules and 10GE SFP+ transceiver modules. For the
transceiver module specifications, see "GE fiber Ethernet port" and "10 GE fiber Ethernet port."
No transceiver module is shipped with the firewall. H3C transceiver modules are recommended.

Connecting an optical fiber
WARNING!
Do not stare into any fiber port when you connect an optical fiber. The laser light emitted from the optical
fiber might hurt your eyes.
