1.2. Interfaces and Ports
This section is an overview of the NetWall 6000 Series product's external connectivity options.
Figure 1.2. NetWall 6000 Series Interfaces and Ports
The NetWall 6000 Series features the following connection ports on the front panel:
• An RJ45 RS-232 local console port
This port can used for direct access to the cOS Core Boot Menu and the cOS Core Command
Line Interface (CLI). Connecting to this port is described in Section 3.5, “RJ45 Console Port
Connection” .
• A micro-USB (type micro-B) local console port
This port provides an alternative means for a local console connection and is marked with the
letter
C . Like the RJ45 console port, this is used for direct access to the cOS Core Boot Menu
and the cOS Core Command Line Interface (CLI). Connection to this port is discussed in
Section 3.6, “Micro-USB Console Port Connection” .
If local console connections are made to the RJ45 and micro-USB ports at the same time, the
micro-USB port will automatically take precedence.
• 8 x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet interface ports
These ports have sequential logical cOS Core interface names from G1 to G8 . They all support
10BaseT, 100BaseTx and 1000BaseT.
The G1 interface is the default interface for management access over a network. However, it
can also be used for other purposes. The G8 interface has a DHCP client enabled on it in the
default cOS Core configuration so it can be automatically assigned an IP address by an ISP.
• 2 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ Ethernet interfaces
These ports have the logical cOS Core interface names X1 and X2 . They both support 10
Gigabit Enhanced Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) modules.
• 2 x Ethernet interface expansion slots
These slots are on the right side of the front panel and, in a new unit, are covered with a
removable panel since they will be empty. Expansion modules can be ordered separately for
these slots and the following module options are available:
i. 8 x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
ii. 8 x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with Power over Ethernet (PoE).
This
must be installed in the second slot only (on the far right-hand side).
iii. 8 x SFP Gigabit interfaces. Note that this module cannot be used in the first slot E1 which
is nearest the fixed interfaces.
iv. 4 x SFP+ 10 Gigabit interfaces.
