Security Gateway Manual XG-7100
RJ-45 Ethernet Ports
ETH1-8 are switched ports sharing 5 Gbps (2x 2.5 Gbps) to the Intel SoC. By default all of these ports are on a single
VLAN uplinked to the LAN interface on the firewall.
See also:
For more details on how the switch operates, see Switch Ports Overview.
For instructions on how to configure the switch in a variety of ways, including configuring the switch ports as isolated
independent interfaces, see Configuring the Switch Ports.
Warning: LAGG has limited support currently on the ethernet switchports (Load Balance mode only). For more
information, review the Switch LAGG section of the Netgate 7100 Switch Overview page.
Warning: The LAN ports do not support the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). Two or more ports connected to
another Layer 2 switch, or connected to 2 or more different interconnected switches, could create a flooding loop
between the switches. This can cause the router to stop functioning until the loop is resolved.
SFP+ Ethernet Ports
IX0-IX1 are discrete ports, each with dedicated 10 Gbps back to the Intel SoC.
Warning: The built-in SFP interfaces on C3000 systems do not support most modules utilizing copper Ethernet
connectors (RJ45). As such, copper SFP/SFP+ modules are not generally supported on this platform. Any tested
and working exceptions to this will be listed in the Compatible SFP/SFP+ Modules section.
Note: Intel notes the following additional limitations on these interfaces:
Devices based on the Intel(R) Ethernet Connection X552 and Intel(R) Ethernet Connection X553 do not support the
following features:
• Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
• Intel PROSet for Windows Device Manager
• Intel ANS teams or VLANs (LBFO is supported)
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
• Data Center Bridging (DCB)
• IPSec Offloading
• MACSec Offloading
In addition, SFP+ devices based on the Intel(R) Ethernet Connection X552 and Intel(R) Ethernet Connection X553 do
not support the following features:
• Speed and duplex auto-negotiation.
• Wake on LAN
• 1000BASE-T SFP Modules
