Enabling 10 Gbps Management/Data Interface for Deep Discovery Web Inspector 4200 Forward Proxy Mode Parent topic

Deep Discovery Web Inspector 4200 can support full 5 Gbps in forward proxy mode by enabling 10 Gbps management/data interface. This feature of switching proxy port to 10GbE NIC is supported by the Deep Discovery Web Inspector 4200 model only.
Use the following procedure to switch management/data port from 1 Gbps port to 10 Gbps port.

Procedure

  1. On the Deep Discovery Web Inspector 4200 device back panel, find the physical locations of the I and M interfaces by referring to the Deep Discovery Web Inspector 4200 Quick Start Card or hardware NIC labels.
  2. Using a VGA cable, connect the VGA port at the back of the device to a monitor.
  3. Connect the USB port at the back of the device to a USB keyboard.
  4. Plug the Ethernet cable to 1GbE port M to work as management interface.
  5. The connection of the Deep Discovery Web Inspector 10 GbE port requires a fiber network cable instead of a twisted pair cable. Connect the 10GbE optical port I to the user’s network with a prepared optical fiber.
  6. Go to Administration → System Settings, click to expand the eth4 setting under Use a dedicated eth4 interface for Authentication/Proxy service.
  7. Specify the IPv4 address and subnet mask for eth4 port.
  8. Click Save.
    When you save network changes, network services are restarted.
  9. After the Deep Discovery Web Inspector restarts, check if the management console is accessible via the 1 GbE port eth0 and the user network traffic is normal via the 10 GbE proxy port eth4.
    Note
    Note
    If you want to restore the proxy port to Deep Discovery Web Inspector 1GbE port eth0, you can clear the ip address for the dedicated eth4 interface and redirect the clients' traffic to the 1GbE port eth0 by configuring the browser's proxy address to the eth0's IP address.
