Security Gateway Manual Netgate-8300
1G IPMI Management Port (10)
The rightmost RJ45 port labeled P11 is the 1G MGMT port dedicated to IPMI. See Intelligent Platform Man-
agement Interface (IPMI) for details on how to access IPMI.
Note: This dedicated IPMI management port is not visible to or usable by the operating system.
Add-on Expansion Card Slots (11)
These are expansion slots and covers which may house additional add-on cards such as for network interfaces.
See Add-On Expansion Card Installation for installation information.
There are two available expansion slots:
• 1x PCIe 3.0 x8 LP (Low Profile) slot which supports half-length low profile cards.
This slot has a PCIe-LP connector which is PCIe x16 but only wired for PCIe x8. While the slot supports
PCIe x16 half length cards, only 8 lanes function.
• 1x PCIe 4.0 x16 slot which supports full-height three-quarter length cards.
This x16 PCIe slot can supply a maximum of 75W directly.
Note: The power draw of standard 25-100 Gbit/s network interface cards will NOT exceed the standard
75W slot rating.
Networking Ports
The sections on the front of the device numbered 7, 8, and 9 in Front view of the Netgate 8300 Security Gateway with
key items numbered contain the network interfaces. These ports are labeled P0 through P10 on the device and are
grouped by speed.
Label Assigned Name Device Name Type Speed
P0 P0 ice0 SFP+ 10 Gbps/1 Gbps
P1 P1 ice1 SFP+ 10 Gbps/1 Gbps
P2 P2 ice2 SFP+ 10 Gbps/1 Gbps
P3 P3 ice3 SFP+ 10 Gbps/1 Gbps
P4 P4 ice4 SFP+ 1 Gbps
P5 P5 ice5 SFP+ 1 Gbps
P6 P6 ice6 SFP+ 1 Gbps
P7 P7 ice7 SFP+ 1 Gbps
P8 P8 igc2 RJ45 2.5 Gbps
P9 P9LAN igc1 RJ45 2.5 Gbps
P10 P10WAN igc0 RJ45 2.5 Gbps
Note: Network ports in add-on cards may shift the device names in the operating system however the default assign-
ments still attempt match the assigned names with the labels on the device.
Note: The igc(4) network interfaces on this device do not support fixed speed operation. These interfaces emulate
a speed/duplex choice by limiting the values offered during autonegotiation to the speed/duplex value selected in the
GUI.
