DefensePro Physical Ports
DefensePro platforms are equipped with 8P8C (RJ-45) and fiber-optic ports for inspecting traffic. By
default, the RJ-45 traffic ports are configured in pairs, configured to operate in Process mode, and
they are displayed in the Static Forwarding table (see
Configuring Inspection Ports, page 44
). You
cannot delete the RJ-45 traffic ports from the Static Forwarding table. You must manually add fiber-
optic ports to the Static Forwarding table, and you can delete the fiber-optic ports from the table as
required. All DefensePro models support CLI commands for managing the status of physical ports.
For more information, see
Managing the Status of Physical Ports, page 46
