1. Install a power supply cord restraint clip over it to keep the AC
power cord from accidently unplugging from the AC power
connector.
2. Connect one of the AC power cords to one of the AC power
connectors on the rear panel.
3. Plug the other end of the cord into an AC power circuit.
4. For redundant power, connect the other AC power cord to the other
AC power connector on the rear panel and plug the other end of the

Rack Mount the Director Device
Director is designed for rack mounting in a 19-inch equipment rack and
occupies one rack unit.
To mount the Director device:
1. Expand the mounting rails to t the depth of your rack. See (A).
2. Attach the mounting rails to the front and rear pillars of the rack using
the supplied screws. The rail shelves that the Director chassis will sit on
should be located along the bottom of the rails.
3. Slide the Director chassis into the rack so it rests on the rail shelves.

Congure Director
All conguration options, status, and statistics are congurable and
viewable using the command-line interface (CLI). To get started with
the Director, connect a console to the Director device console port
interface to access the CLI. Through the local CLI, set the Management
port IP address to enable remote access to the device.
To access the Command Line Interface:
1. Connect a PC with terminal emulation software to the Director device
Console port using the supplied DB9 to RJ45 cable.

2. Launch the terminal emulation software such as
HyperTerminal or minicom and set the communication parameters:
115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no ow control.
4. At the login prompt, type admin,and at the password prompt, type
netoptics.
5. “User ‘admin’ must change the default password, please enter a new
password.” message appears.
Enter a new password for the admin account.
6. Set the Director IP address by typing: sysip set ipaddr=<ipaddress>
mask=<netmask> gw=<gateway> sysip commit where <ip
address> is the IP address for Director, <netmask> is the netmask, and
<gateway> is the IP address of the gateway
7. For more information on the CLI, type Help to display command
information, or see the CLI Reference manual.
The tab key can be used to auto-complete partially typed commands.
Entering ? following a command (and a space) displays the
arguments for that command. The up- and down-arrow keys access
the CLI command history buer.
To access via SSH:
1. Connect the Management port with a CAT 5e cable to a switch or
hub.
2. In a terminal window of a PC connected to the network, at the prompt,
type: ssh admin@<IP_address>.
3. Enter the password, netoptics. The Net Optics banner displays.
4. Log into Director with the default username admin and password
netoptics if no other accounts have been added.
Connect to DC Power
For DC powered models, you must supply your own power cables. DC
power cables must have a wire gauge of at least 16 AWG and a 72 VDC,
6A rating. If you have not already done so, obtain the appropriate DC
power cables. You also need to obtain a Phillips screwdriver to complete
the installation. If present, remove the protective covers from the DC
power terminal blocks. Use the Phillips screwdriver to tighten the
connections.
Caution: Always connect the earth electrical grounds rst, and keep the
earth grounds connected whenever you are working on the device.

cable to the terminal labeled with the plus symbol (+).
6. Carefully connect the other two – 48VDC ends of the DC power cables
to two negative (– 48VDC) power sources.
Caution: If possible, turn o the power to the power sources while you
are making the following connections.
7. Connect the other two + 48VDC ends of the DC power cables to two
positive (+ 48VDC) power sources.
Note: Be sure to connect the positive sides of the cables to the positive
sides of the power sources, and the negative sides of the power cables
to the negative sides of the power sources. The two power LEDs on the
front panel lights up to indicate that both power sources are on.

Connect to 10 Gigabit Ports
Each of the 10 Gigabit ports (two on the front of the chassis of
DIR-7400 and DIR-6400p, and two on the rear of DIR-7400 and
DIR-5400, one rear port for DIR-6400p), can be connected as
network or monitor ports. These ports require XFP modules (ordered and
shipped separately). The function of the port, as network or monitor, is
determined by how you congure the port.
Check the Installation
After you have made your connections to the Director, verify that it
is functioning correctly:
• Check that the power LEDs are illuminated.
• Check the link LEDs for each of the connected ports to verify that the
links are connected and trac is present.
Create a Filter
To view trac on monitor ports, you must dene one or more lters.
For example, create a lter that:
• Aggregates trac received on network ports 1 to 5 and 7
• Drops any trac originating from 10.1.1.1
• Forwards only Layer 4 trac going to Port 80
• Regenerates it to monitor ports 1 and 2
To create the lter, enter the three following commands using the
CLI:
lter add in_ports=n1.1-n1.5,n1.7 ip4_src=10.1.1.1 action=drop
lter add in_ports=n1.1-n1.5,n1.7 l4_dst_port=80
action=redir redir_ports=m.1-m.2

Multi-Unit Conguration and Operation
Daisy Chain Director Units
Daisy chaining, or stacking, is the process of creating a single, logical
multi-unit system from many systems. Director supports daisy
chaining of up to 10 units.
• Only the DIR-7400, DIR-5400 and DIR-6400p models support
the stacking operation. The DIR-6400p can only be used in the
stacking only as a master unit and/or the last unit of the chain.
• Up to ten units can be daisy chained in one multi-unit system.
• All units in the system must be running the same version of the
Director software.
• The units must be interconnected in a daisy chain conguration
by cabling port t2.2 (rear right 10G port) of the Master unit to port
t2.1 (rear left 10G port) on the next unit. Ports t2.1 on the rst
unit in the daisy chain and t2.2 in the last unit are unused. (They
cannot be used as network or monitor ports either.) The DIR-
6400p has only one 10G port in the rear, which limits this model
to only be used in the Master or last-unit position.
• Once the system is operating in a multi-unit conguration, all
device management (CLI, Web Manager, and System Manager)
functions must operate through the master unit. If a remote unit’s
device management functions are accessed through the remote
unit’s serial port or management IP address, the results
are unpredictable.
• The units are assigned Unit ID (UID) numbers consecutively
starting with 1. The UID 1 is at the beginning of the daisy chain
and is the master unit; the rest are slave or remote units.
• Director Pro (DIR-6400p) has only one network port in the rear for
stacking. This model can only be used in the Master position or the
tail position of a multi-unit daisy chain.

Connect the Daisy Chain
Connect up to ten units for your system in a daisy chain. Ensure
each unit has it’s own IP address and connected to the network. The
above table shows you which units have stacking ports and can be
used in your daisy chain. The DIR-6400p can only be a Master or the
last slave unit.
First power o all of the units and connect the daisy chain
cables between them as shown in the diagram in the previous
section. Power up the units and ensure all management ports
are reachable through the network.

Congure the Daisy Chain
After connecting all the units for the multi-unit system, do the
following to congure them for master and slaves.
To set the Slave units:
1. SSH and log into the second and following units of the chain
and congure each to be a Slave unit.
2. Enter remote set admin=enable master=disable. The
conguration of the master unit is pending.
3. Enter remote commit.
To set the Master unit:
1. SSH and log into the rst unit of the chain to congure it to be
the Master unit.
2. Enter remote set admin=enable master=enable. The
conguration of the master unit is pending.
3. Enter remote group topology=1,2,3,4,... Include numbers
for as many units that are in the stack, such as remote group
topology=1,2 for a two-unit system. (The UID list cannot
contain spaces. ) The conguration is pending.
4. Enter remote show. The pending conguration is displayed;
verify that it is correct.
5. Enter remote commit. The master unit initializes the slave
units with the conguration routing information.
6. Enter remote show. Verify that the running conguration is
correct and all units are Up. The multi-unit system is now ready
for operation.
Refer to the Director/Director Pro User Guide for furthur details.
