The ION 7000 uses the controller port to communicate with the controller and monitor the network. By default, DHCP is factory-configured on this port. The controller 1 port should be connected to a copper 1G ethernet port. This port should have access to the outbound internet access to the Prisma SD-WAN controller service on port 443 (HTTPS).

After this port is connected and the ION 7000 powered on, the ION 7000 automatically connects and registers with the controller. After registration, the ION 7000 is available to claim and configure in the Prisma SD-WAN console.
