CHAPTER 3 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which cable do I use to connect a new LAN device to the router?
If you are connecting your LAN device to one of the Ethernet ports on your router, use
an RJ-45 cable.
The ports of the 5930 Ethernet switch will automatically sense whether the connection
is to a PC, or to another hub or switch.
Can I connect the router to a 100Base-T hub?
Yes. Use either a straight through or a crossover cable. The router switch will auto-
sense the connection and adjust accordingly.
What is the router password?
The router provides a role-based management solution with one initial user account;
the default settings for this account are: username superuser and password admin.
You will be required to change the default password when you connect to the router
for the first time using these default parameters.
What security options do I have?
A number of security options are available both as standard and key enabled features.
These features include local security to protect access to the router, data security that
protects local and remote traffic, and network security that protects the integrity of the
network machines. For more information on the security features of your router, refer
to the Technical Reference Guide, Chapter 5, Security.
Can I have an FTP, Mail or Web server and use NAT?
Yes, but you need to configure your router appropriately using the NAT Setting screen
or the Command Line Interface (CLI). By entering a remote system or addServer com-
mand, you can add FTP, Mail, NetMeeting or Web servers to your LAN. These can
then be accessed from another LAN or the Internet while NAT is enabled.
