10G/1G NETWORK LINKS (P1 – P4):
There are 4 x 1G/10G Ethernet
network interfaces on each of the lower 2 PCIe cards (P1 and P2) and 2 x
1G/10G Ethernet network interfaces on each of the upper two PCIe cards (P3 and
P4), used for Network traffic, which can support 1G/10G SFP+ fiber or 1G RJ45
Copper interfaces.
NOTE
The two upper PCIe cards (P3 and P4) have transceivers
loaded in upside down.
Figure 2-4 – NETWORK Links
Each PCIe card has four ports which may be used for either 1G/10G fiber or 1G
copper network or steering interfaces. On all ports the TX connection is on the
left and the RX connection is on the right. In the NetXplorer, SG-9100 ports are
labeled
L1
through
L12.
Transceivers for multiple interface types may not be installed on the same card
but a mixture of cards using 1G Fiber transceivers, 10G Fiber transceivers and
1G Copper transceivers may be installed in the same SG-9100.
For example, in a single SG-9100, PCIe card P1 can use 1G Copper transceivers,
P2 can use 10G Fiber transceivers and P3 can use 1G Fiber transceivers, but you
can’t have P1:L1 (the first link on PCI card 1) use 1G copper and P1:L2 use 10G
fiber since each card can support a transceiver type.
