SD-WAN 2000 EE appliance has the following ports:

• An RS232 serial console port.
• A copper Ethernet (RJ45) Port called the Lights out Management (LOM) port. You can use this port to remotely monitor and manage the appliance independently of the appliance’s software.
• A copper Ethernet (RJ45) management port, numbered 0/1, and named PRI (primary). The management port is used to connect directly to the appliance for system administration functions. You can use this port for initial provisioning of WAN optimization and Windows Server.

  Note: The LOM port also operates as a management port.

• Four 10/100/1000Base-T copper Ethernet ports numbered 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 from left to right. The four ports form two accelerated pairs, which function as accelerated bridges. Ports 1/1 and 1/2 are accelerated pair A (apA), and 1/3 and 1/4 are accelerated pair B (apB).
