Ethernet Ports
Eight 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports provide LAN connections to hubs, switches, local
servers, and workstations. You can also designate an Ethernet port for management
traffic. The ports are labeled 0/0 through 0/7. For the default zone bindings for each
Ethernet port, see “Default Device Settings” on page 30.
The SSG 140 device also has two 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports (copper) to
provide connectivity to Gigabit Ethernet LANs. The Gigabit ports are labeled 0/8 and
0/9.
When configuring one of the ports, reference the interface name that corresponds
to the location of the port. From left to right on the front panel, the interface names
for the ports are ethernet0/0 through ethernet0/9.
Figure 4 displays the location of the LEDs on each Ethernet port.
