ETEP Configuration
306 EncrypTight User Guide
On the local and remote ports, the ETEPs support the speeds shown in Table 86.
If you are using copper SFP transceivers, auto-negotiation must be enabled on the ET1000A and on the
device that the ET1000A is connecting to. The recommended copper SFP transceivers negotiate only to
1 Gbps, even though they advertise other speeds. See the ETEP Release Notes for a list of recommended
transceivers.
Remote and Local Port Settings
The remote port connects the ETEP to an untrusted network, which is typically a WAN, campus LAN, or
MAN. The local port connects the ETEP to a device on the local, trusted side of the network, such as a
server or a switch.
