Chapter 1: Overview of the SafeGuard Controller
About the SafeGuard Controller
The Alcatel-Lucent SafeGuard Controller is the first secure networking controller that
enables network managers to see all LAN traffic up to Layer 7 and associates the traffic
with users and applications. The SafeGuard Controller enforces access policies and
controls malware infection in real time, achieving performance and capabilities
previously not possible.
The SafeGuard Controller provides the following functionality:
■Prevents network meltdown by automatically detecting and containing the
spread of malware and worms
■Leverages existing authentication infrastructure (Windows Active Directory,
RADIUS, and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
■Checks the security posture of the host (network access point, and Trusted
Computing Group)
■Supports compliance initiatives through user-based auditing
■Exercises file-level control over information access and transmission
■Provides enforcement based on user- and application-defined polices
This chapter presents an overview of the SafeGuard Controller hardware, which is
available in two models with two different power options. It shows physical views and
describes the interfaces of the front and rear panels for both models.
Hardware Overview
The SafeGuard Controller is a compact enclosure 1.7 inches (4.4 cm) high that is designed
to be installed in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a table or shelf (Figure 1). The
SafeGuard Controller features front-panel ports implemented as small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) modules. The rear panel of the SafeGuard Controller provides
management ports, a compact flash slot, and power connectors. Internal fans draw air
from the front of the SafeGuard Controller and exhaust it at the rear.
The SafeGuard Controller is available in the following models:
■OAG2400-ACAC with 24 ports and dual redundant AC power supplies
■OAG2400-ACDC with 24 ports, one AC power supply, and one DC supply input
■OAG1000-ACAC with 10 ports and dual redundant AC power supplies
■OAG1000-ACDC with 10 ports, one AC power supply, and one DC supply input

Front-Panel Interfaces
The OAG2400 SafeGuard Controller has 24 front-panel ports (Figure 2); the OAG1000
SafeGuard Controller has 10 front-panel ports (Figure 3). Each port has two associated
LEDs. One LED indicates link status. You can program the other LED to indicate activity,
duplex mode, or speed for the port.

Chapter 1: Overview of the SafeGuard Controller
Figure 3 OAG1000 Front Panel
Each SafeGuard Controller model has secured port pairs that act as bridged ports. These
ports can be configured to be synchronized, so that when one port in the pair comes up,
its paired port comes up. Similarly, when one port in the pair goes down, its paired port
goes down. Within each pair, the top port (odd-numbered) is used to connect the
SafeGuard Controller to the upstream core or distribution switch. The bottom port (even-
numbered port) is used to connect the SafeGuard Controller to the downstream access
(wire-closet) switches. The OAG2400 has 10 core ports and 10 edge ports. The OAG1000
has four network ports and four host ports.
Both SafeGuard Controller models have extensibility ports that include a reserved high-
availability port for connecting a peer SafeGuard Controller of the same type and either
one (OAG1000) or two (OAG2400) ports for monitoring. In addition, the OAG2400 has a
port that is reserved for future use. Table 3 lists the functions of the extensibility ports.
Each front-panel port can be customized by inserting the proper SFP module. The SFP
modules supported are single-mode and multi-mode fiber and single-speed and triple-
speed copper modules. You can mix and match different types in the same unit. For more
information about the SFP modules, see Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Modules on
page 18.
To comply with the IEEE 802.3ab standard, by default, the front-panel 10/100/1000 ports
of the SafeGuard Controller are capable of auto-negotiation for speed and duplex
settings. For example, with auto-negotiation enabled by default, the port detects the
interface settings and auto-configures support for the full-duplex or fastest line speed,

depending on the speed and duplex settings of the attached interfaces. If a specific speed
for the interface is important, we recommend that you specify the speed of the interface
using the command line interface (CLI). Auto-negotiation is available on the 10/100/
1000 ports. Half-duplex operation is supported only at the 10/100 speed.
SafeGuard Controller Rear Panel
The rear panel of the SafeGuard Controller includes management ports, a compact flash
slot, and power connectors. The SafeGuard Controller is available with dual AC power
supplies (Figure 4) or one AC power supply and one DC power supply (Figure 5).
Figure 4 SafeGuard Controller Rear Panel—Dual AC Power Supplies
Figure 5 SafeGuard Controller Rear Panel—AC and DC Power Supplies
The SafeGuard Controller management ports are:
■One RJ-45 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet port for out-of-band IP-based management
■One RS-232 management port (male DB-9, DTE) to access the CLI
The compact flash slot provides a way to store configuration files.
The SafeGuard Controller provides two power input connectors, either two AC
connectors or an AC and a DC connector. Although a single power connection is
adequate to operate the SafeGuard Controller, connecting both power supplies provides
backup power that can prevent unscheduled downtime.

Chapter 1: Overview of the SafeGuard Controller
Power Supplies
The SafeGuard Controller is available in either of the following power configurations:
■Dual AC power supplies
■One AC power supply and one DC supply input
The system is fully functional with one power cord connected; however, to ensure that
your system is operational at all times, install both power cords and make sure that both
power cords are connected to different circuits. When one power source fails, the
secondary power source becomes the new power source for the SafeGuard Controller.
For uninterrupted operation, it is preferred that one circuit have battery backup. In this
way, even if one circuit malfunctions, the system still remains operational with the help of
the power supplied by the secondary power source.
The AC power supply for the SafeGuard Controller has a voltage range from 100 to 240
VAC with a maximum current of 2.2 A at 100 VAC. The DC power input has a maximum
current of 3.1 A at 48 VDC.
With both AC power supplies connected, the maximum power that is drawn is no more
than 2.2 A at 100 VAC from an AC supply or 3.1 A at 48 VDC from a DC supply.
Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Modules
The SafeGuard Controller supports both fiber and copper SFP modules. You can mix and
match different types in the same unit.
The SafeGuard Controller uses any of the following types of SFP modules:
■1000BASE-LX single-mode fiber

CAUTION: The SafeGuard Controller has redundant power supplies. You
must disconnect both power cords to completely remove power from the
unit.
NOTE: SFP modules can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps in full-duplex mode
or 10 or 100 Mbps in half-duplex mode.

System and Port LEDs
The front panel of the SafeGuard Controller provides LEDS to indicate operating status of
the SafeGuard Controller system and ports (Figure 6).
Figure 6 Front-Panel LEDs (OAG2400 Shown)
At the left side of the front panel are six LEDs and a push button labeled Mode. The top
three LEDs indicate power and alarm status for the SafeGuard Controller system; the
three lower LEDs are linked to the port LEDs and indicate the operating mode for one
port LED in each pair.
Each port has two associated LEDs. The upper LED is bicolor amber and green, and the
lower LED is green. The lower LED always indicates link status for the port. The upper
LED indicates one of three possible conditions, depending on which mode has been
selected using the Mode button at the upper left corner of the front panel. Pushing the
Mode button cycles through the modes and selects speed, duplex, or status as the
condition being indicated by the upper port LEDs.
Only one of the three port mode LEDs is on at any time. Pushing the Mode button cycles
through these three LEDs and changes the operating mode of the upper LEDs for the
ports. For example, when the Speed LED is on, the upper port LEDs indicate operating
speed for the ports. If you push the Mode button until the Status LED is on, the upper
port LEDs indicate the port protection mode.
NOTE: Not all SFP modules support 10/100 operation. To ensure guaranteed
operation of the system, obtain all SFP modules from Alcatel-Lucent.
