Ethernet network configuration

The Ethernet modules expand the network connectivity options. Each appliance has two Ethernet modules. The Ethernet modules are numbered from left to right, but if a module has less than eight ports, the module will use the lowest port number in the range.

Numbering convention

The numbering convention for configuring Ethernet interfaces and installing network cables is:
  • Left module ranges from ETH0 to ETH7
  • Right module ranges from ETH8 to ETH9

Type 7199 connections

Each Ethernet module has one of the following configurations:
  • The left Ethernet module has eight 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which are RJ45 connectors.
  • The right Ethernet module has two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which are small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) transceivers.
The appliance has ten Ethernet connections. The Ethernet interface names are ETH0 through ETH7, ETH8, and ETH9.
