SteelHeadā„¢ Deployment Guide : Policy-Based Routing Virtual In-Path Deployments : Connecting the SteelHead in a PBR Deployment
  
Connecting the SteelHead in a PBR Deployment
You can use several types of Ethernet cables to attach to the SteelHead in PBR deployments:
  • A straight-through cable to the primary interface. You use this connection to manage the SteelHead, reaching it through HTTPS or SSH.
  • A straight-through cable to the WAN0_0 interface if you are connecting to a switch.
  • A crossover cable to the WAN0_0 interface if you are connecting to a router. You assign an IP address to the in-path interface; this is the IP address that you redirect traffic to (the target of the router PBR rule).
