Port Assignments for a 10GbE Fiber NIC
You can purchase a 10GbE fiber network interface card (NIC) from Skyhigh Security and install it in a card slot on the rear of the WBG-5x00-C and WBG-5x00-D appliances. For the WBG-5x00-E appliances, a fiber NIC is available that can be operated with a 1GbE or 10GbE data transferring rate.
The operating system assigns names to the appliance ports, including the additional ports that are provided when a fiber NIC is installed.
The following table shows the port assignments on a WBG-5000-C appliance.
| Network interface | Name assigned to port on interface |
|---|---|
| Network interface 1 (onboard, outer left) | eth0 |
| Network interface 2 (onboard, inner left) | eth1 |
| Network interface 3 (onboard, inner right) | eth2 |
| Network interface 4 (onboard, outer right) | eth3 |
| Network interface 7 (on added 10GbE fiber NIC, outer left) | eth4 |
| Network interface 8 (on added 10GbE fiber NIC, inner left) | eth5 |
| Network interface 9 (on added 10GbE fiber NIC, inner right) | eth6 |
| Network interface 10 (on added 10GbE fiber NIC, outer right) | eth7 |
This table shows the port assignments on the WBG-5x00-D appliances.
| Network interface | Name assigned to port on interface |
|---|---|
