Configuring the 4GE SSM for Fiber
The 4GE SSM (Security Services Module) has four Ethernet ports, and each port
has two media type options: SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) fiber or RJ 45.
You can mix the copper and fiber ports using the same 4GE SSM card.
Note The 4GE SSM requires the Cisco ASA 5500 series software Version 7.1(1) or
later.
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Cabling 4GE SSM Interfaces, page 15-2
• Setting the 4GE SSM Media Type for Fiber Interfaces (Optional), page 15-3
• What to Do Next, page 15-5
Note Because the default media type setting is Ethernet, you do not need to change the
media type setting for any Ethernet interfaces you use.
