Product and Software: This article applies to all ECS appliances.

Generally ECS has two Ethernet ports Enet0 and Enet1:

Enet0 is used for management access, configuration, and for communication with model devices using SSH, Telnet, or SNMP. The switch port should always be configured as the access port.
Enet1 is used as the web portal and isolation networks for clients. The switch port can be configured as the access port or 802.1q trunk port.
Enet2, if present, is used for DHCP snooping and remote scanning.
The configuration wizard configures Enet1 port as 802.1q trunk port. This is a Layer 2 implementation.
If Enet1 needs to be configured as the access port, the configuration file must be manually changed. This is Layer 3 deployment.
