10/100/1000Base-T Network Module with Hardware Bypass
The Secure Firewall 3100 chassis has one network module slot. Network modules are optional, removable
I/O modules that provide either additional ports or different interface types. The network module plugs into
the chassis on the front panel. See Front Panel, on page 8 for the location of the network module slot on the
chassis.
There is one PID for this 8-port 10/100/1000Base-T hardware bypass network module: FPR3K-XNM-8X1GF.
The eight ports are numbered from top to bottom, left to right. Ports 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, and 7 and 8
are paired for hardware bypass mode. In hardware bypass mode, data is not processed by the Secure Firewall
3100 but is routed to the paired port.
The hardware and the system support hot swapping if you are replacing a network module with the same type
of network module. You must first disable the network port and then reenable it after replacement. If you
replace the 10/100/1000Base-T network module with another supported network module, you must reboot
the chassis so that the new network module is recognized. See the configuration guide for your operating
system for the detailed procedures for managing network modules.
Note
Make sure you have the correct firmware package and software version installed to support this network
module. See the configuration guide for your software for the procedures for updating the firmware package
and verifying the software version. See the Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense Compatibility Guide and
the Cisco Secure Firewall ASA Compatibility guide, which provide Cisco software and hardware compatibility,
including operating system and hosting environment requirements, for each supported version.
