Installation
36 ETEP Installation Guide
When the appliance powers up, all LEDs illuminate. The power LED remains lit until the unit is powered
off.
During the boot process the ETEP cycles through its startup tests, and the corresponding status LEDs are
illuminated. After the tests execute successfully, the status indicators turn off.
NOTE
During the boot process the ETEP discards all traffic on its data ports. Once the appliance is operational,
the default mode of operation passes all packets in the clear until you deploy security policies.
