Product ManualXG-7100-1U
1.1.1 Ethernet Ports
Interface Name Port Name Port Type Port Speed
WAN ETH1 RJ-45 1 Gbps
LAN ETH2-ETH8 RJ-45 1 Gbps
OPT1 IX0 SFP+ 10 Gbps
OPT2 IX1 SFP+ 10 Gbps
Note: ETH1-8 are switched ports sharing 5 Gbps (2x 2.5 Gbps) to the Intel SoC. These ports can be isolated as an
independent interface with the configuration of VLAN tagging as shown in XG-7100 Switch Overview.
1.1.2 Optional 4-Port Intel 1 Gb Ethernet Expansion Card
Ports are assigned as numbered.
Num Interface Name Port Name Port Type Port Speed
0 OPT3 igb0 RJ-45 1 Gbps
1 OPT4 igb1 RJ-45 1 Gbps
2 OPT5 igb2 RJ-45 1 Gbps
3 OPT6 igb3 RJ-45 1 Gbps
Warning: High Availability (HA) can be used, but currently there is one restriction when it comes to configuring
switchports for HA. Because the uplinks from the switch to the SoC are always up, failover is only effective in
scenarios where a system completely dies. If a single switch interface goes down, CARP will not be able to detect
this properly so the PRIMARY will remain PRIMARY on any switch interfaces that drop link.
The SECONDARY will also consider itself PRIMARY of the network associated to the switch link that dropped.
In this situation, LAN clients will likely go through the SECONDARY but will not be able to get online if NAT
is utilized with a WAN CARP IP. It’s possible to NAT to the WAN interface IP to get around this but it can cause
state issues during failover.
There is an Intel-supplied driver issue, which is noted in the Intel Release Notes for the C3000, preventing 1Gbps
copper modules from being recognized on the SFP+ ports. We expect Intel will address this in the near future.
LAGG is not currently supported on the ethernet switchports.
This will be addressed in a future pfSense release.
