Interface modules
The F5000-A5 firewall must have at least one interface module in addition to one MPU. The slots for
interface modules are slot 1 through slot 4.
NSQ1GT8C40
The NSQ1GT8C40 interface module provides eight 10/100/1000BASE-T copper Ethernet ports and
four combo interfaces. These ports can be set to operate as Layer 2 interfaces or Layer 3 interfaces.
Each combo interface comprises one 10/100/1000BASE-T copper port and one 1000BASE-X fiber port.
When one port in a pair is activated, the other port automatically shuts down.
