Cisco Firepower 4100 Series Hardware Installation Guide

Network Modules
The FirePower 4100 security appliance contains two network module slots that provide optical or electrical
network interfaces. Network modules are optional, removable I/O modules that provide either additional ports
or different interface types (1/10/40G). The Firepower network modules plug into the chassis on the front
panel.
Some network modules also offer Hardware Bypass functionality, also known as Fail-to-Wire (FTW), for
interface pairs for supported applications. FTW is a physical layer bypass that allows interface port pairs to
be put in bypass mode so that the hardware forwards packets without software intervention.
The network modules are NOT hot-swappable.Note
Firepower 4100 supports the following network modules:
•
Firepower 8-port 10G SPF+ Network Module single-wide (FPR4K-NM-8X10G)
