4. Use the CLI to configure the Phantom HD unit (see the

Phantom HD Appliance User Guide, part number 800-0193-
002).

Connecting to the Network

The Phantom HD unit has two (PT-HD-10) or four (PT-

HD-20) Ethernet ports and two management ports, all of

which are configurable:

• eth0––eth3: 10-Gigabit ports that support SFP+ Fiber

transceivers. These ports can be configured as ingress

and egress ports for captured network traffic.

• mgmt0––mgmt1: 1G ports can be used for management.

To connect the Phantom HD unit to your network:
1. Connect cables to the Ethernet ports that you are going

to use. They are numbered from right to left, facing the rear

panel, eth0 through eth3.

2. See the Phantom HD Appliance User Guide, part number

800-0193-002,

for configuration details.

Checking the Installation

After connecting the power supplies and the network ports,

verify that the Phantom HD unit is functioning properly.

Verify the following from the Phantom HD front panel:

• At least one power LED is lighted.
• Check that the Activity LEDs are flashing for each active

port, indicating that traffic is actively passing across the

port.

Configuring Phantom HD

All configuration options, status, and statistics are

accessible from the command-line interface (CLI).

To get started:
1. Connect power to each of the

redundant power supplies

located at the rear of the unit.
For true redundancy, make sure each power supply is on

a separate power circuit.

2. Connect a monitor and a USB keyboard to the device. A

login prompt displays.

3. At the login prompt, type

admin and, at the password prompt,

enter

netoptics.

4.

Enter the following commands to assign a new IP

address to Management port 0:

Net Optics#interface mgmt0

if-mgmt0#ip A.B.C.D/M

if-mgmt0#commit
where A.B.C.D is the IP address and M is the subnet

mask you need to assign to the Phantom HD unit for your

network. M is netmask in CIDR: 24 (=255.255.255.0), 16

(=255.255.0.0), 8 (=255.0.0.0), etc.

Accessing Phantom HD Remotely

After you initially assign the IP address and subnet mask using

the local CLI, you can access Phantom HD remotely using SSH.

1.

Connect the Management port 0 to a switch or hub using a

CAT5 cable.

2. Open a terminal window on a PC that is connected to the

network.

3. Enter the following to login to access the CLI:
