Ports
A typical installation using a single accelerated bridge uses four Ethernet ports (the Primary port and
apA) and six IP addresses (four on the Primary port’s subnet and two on apA’s subnet).
The appliance has two motherboard ports and two accelerated bridges.
• The motherboard ports are labeled as MGMT (management) and AUX1 (auxiliary) ports in SD-
WAN 1000 appliance and PRI (primary) and AUX (auxiliary) in SD-WAN 2000 appliance. You use
