Steps

  1. If you are configuring a physical device, connect to the Secure SD-WAN Engine appliance.
    1. Connect the Secure SD-WAN Engine appliance to a laptop or other client device using a serial cable.
    2. On the client device, use a terminal console program to connect to the Secure SD-WAN Engine appliance with these settings:
      • Bits per second — 115,200
      • Data bits — 8
      • Parity — None
      • Stop bits — 1.
      Note: The serial console port speed is 115,200 bps in most Secure SD-WAN Engine appliances. The speed is 9600 bps in older Secure SD-WAN Engine appliance models. See the hardware guide for your Secure SD-WAN Engine appliance model for more information.
    3. Connect the network cables to the Secure SD-WAN Engine appliance.
