The physical ports on the NICs are mapped in proximity to the PCI bus edge connector. The port closest to the edge connector is L0, then W0, L1, and W1.
For details on status lights and cards in the EX560 and EX760 appliances, see the Series EX560 and EX760 Systems Owner’s Manual.
Four-Port 1-GbE Copper Bypass card
Two types of Four-Port 1-GbE Copper Bypass cards are available. Both types can be installed in the 1U SteelHead CX 3070 and the 2U SteelHead CX 5070, SteelHead CX 7070 and the Interceptor 9600 appliances.
Type 2 cards are supported on the following software versions:
• SteelHead versions: 8.6.0, 9.0.0, 9.1.0 and 9.2.0
• Interceptor versions: 4.5.3, 5.5.0, and 5.0.1
The physical ports on the NICs are mapped in proximity to the PCI bus edge connector. The port closest to the edge connector is L0, then W0, L1, followed by W1.
