Citrix SD-WAN Platforms
There are two types of copper Ethernet ports that may be installed on your appliance:
• 10/100BASE-T port
The 10/100BASE-T port has a maximum transmission speed of 100 megabits per second (Mbps).
Most platforms have at least one 10/100BASE-T port.
• 10/100/1000BASE-T port
The 10/100/1000BASE-T port has a maximum transmission speed of 1 gigabit per second, 10
times faster than the other type of copper Ethernet port.
Most platforms have at least one 10/100/1000Base-T port.
To connect any of these ports to your network, you plug one end of a standard Ethernet cable into the
port and plug the other end into the appropriate network connector.
Management ports
Management ports are standard copper Ethernet ports (RJ45), which are used for direct access to the
appliance for system administration functions.
1G SFP and 10G SFP+ ports
A 1G SFP port can operate at a speed of 1 Gbps. It accepts either a copper 1G SFP transceiver for oper-
ation as a copper Ethernet port, or a fiber 1G SFP transceiver for operation as a fiber optic port.
The 10G SFP+ and Base-T 10G are high-speed ports. You need a fiber optic cable to connect to a port.
If the other end of the fiber optic cable is attached to a 1G SFP port, the 10G SFP+ port automatically
negotiates to match the speed of the 1G SFP port.
Ports compatibility:
On some appliances, the 10G slot supports copper 1G transceivers, which can operate at up to 1 Gbps
in a 10 Gbps slot.
Notes:
• Certain platforms have 10G slots that do not support copper transceivers. Check with your ac-
count representative for support details.
• You cannot insert a fiber 1G transceiver into a 10G slot.
• You cannot insert a 10G transceiver into a 1G slot.
The following tables list the maximum distance specifications for Citrix SD-WAN pluggable media (1G
SFP and 10G SFP+ transceivers).
The 10G SFP+, modules are dual-speed capable and support both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps, depending on
the peer switch that the model connects to.
