Csico Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide
OL-6831-02
Chapter 1 Introducing the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine
Hardware Features
Note Because the inline network adapter has an internal crossover connection
that becomes active when the InlineGroup interface is placed in
mechanical bypass mode, you must figure out which cable you would use
to connect the two network devices directly, and then you must install the
other cable type (on one side, usually the WAN side of the inline
appliance) instead.
Table 1-8 shows the cable requirements for WAE and non-WAE connections when
you are using Fast Ethernet end to end.
Step 2 Connect Fast Ethernet ports on both the LAN and the WAN sides of the WAE
inline appliance by using the following cable types:
• On the LAN side of the connection, use a straight-through cable between the
WAE inline appliance and the network device.
• On the WAN side of the connection, use the cable that is different from the
cable that you would use to connect the two network devices directly (as
determined in Step 1).
