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.
