Secure Port Modules
Secure Port Modules (SPMs) perform general packet processing and device
connection tasks for devices that communicate with the NetScreen-5000 Series.
SPMs handle packets as they enter and exit the system, providing packet parsing,
classification, and flow-level processing. SPMs also provide encryption, decryption,
Network Address Translation (NAT), and session lookup features. When packets
require processing beyond that provided by an SPM, the NetScreen-5000 Series
hands them off to the management module for further processing.
There are currently three families of SPMs:
The 5000-8G, 5000-8G2, and 5000-8G2-G4 SPMs provide eight 1-Gigabit Small
Form factor Pluggable (SFP) sockets. These SPMs are supplied with SX gigabit
fiber SFP transceivers.
The 5000-2XGE and 5000-2XGE-G4 SPMs provides two 10-Gigabit Form factor
Pluggable (XFP) Sockets. You must purchase transceivers for this SPM
separately.
The 5000-2G24FE SPM provides two SFP sockets and 24 10/100 Ethernet ports.
This SPM is supplied with two SX gigabit fiber SFP transceivers.
5000-8G, 5000-8G2 and 5000-8G2-G4 SPMs
The 5000-8G, 5000-8G2 and 5000-8G2-G4 SPMs provide eight 1-Gigabit SFP sockets
for hot-swappable transceivers. These modules are also capable of supporting a
total of four aggregate interfaces, with up to four ports for each aggregate interface.
