Acme Packet 6350
Acme Packet 6350 Media Interface
The Acme Packet 6300 contains three PHY card slots. Slots 0 and 1 support network-
facing media interface cards. Slots 1 and 2 support transcoding cards. The Acme
Packet 6350 supports both the 2x10GbE NIU and 4x10GbE NIU. The Acme Packet
6350 can support more than one 2x10Gb Ethernet NIU, but it supports only one
4x10Gb Ethernet NIU.
If you use two 2x10GbE NIUs, put the first one in slot 0, the second one in slot 1.
When using the 4x10GbE NIU, you must put it in slot 0.
Note:
Do not put the 2x10GbE NIU in slot 2, and do not put the 4x10GbE NIU in
either slots 1 or 2.
The Acme Packet 6350 supports up to 4x10GbE ports each running at full duplex line
rate for all packet sizes. The following illustration shows the media ports numbering
pattern.

The following table maps the reference numbers in the preceding illustration to the
labeling on the media interfaces. It also lists the operation-type, slot, and port
parameters in the phy-interface configuration element for the applicable interfaces.
The table distinguishes between these using "left" and "right", with the perspective of
you looking at the NIU panel.
