Connect and Configure Devices

As you prepare to connect devices to HIPswitches, you may want your HIPswitch product guide available to identify the ports reserved for connecting devices you want to protect.

Different HIPswitch models support different numbers of devices, and some older models may use different port names such as:

  • Device Network
  • Private Network
  • Equipment Network
CAUTION: We strongly recommend that you avoid duplicate device IP addresses, even if the devices are members of different overlay networks. If more than one HIPswitch is a member of both overlay networks, it creates an unresolved network routing conflict.
