Switch configuration essentials

Switch A1 arrives from the Websense factory with a default configuration that supports the C interface for all blades on the chassis. It also supports the A1.P1 and A1.P2 interfaces on the blades in slots 1 through 15. These interfaces are used for proxy traffic.

Switch A2 arrives preconfigured to support the N interface (Network Agent) on the blade in slot 16.

No Network Agent

If you do not want to run Network Agent on the blade in slot 16:

1.	Use the CMC Web interface to select SLOT-16 and run firstboot on the blade in slot 16. Change the blade's mode to wcg.

2.	Unplug the network cables on switch A2.

3.	Log on to the Security Blade Manager for the blade in slot 1. Run the CLI command "switch A2 configure wcg" to configure the A2 switch so that the N interface is disabled.

4.	Wait for the switch to finish rebooting, then run "switch A2 verify" to verify that the configuration is as expected.

5.	Plug in the network cables on switch A2.
