Firepower 8000 Series
The 8000 Series is available as a 1U device with a 10G network switch or a 2U device with either a 10G
or a 40G network switch. This device can be shipped fully assembled, or you can install the network
modules (NetMods) that contain the sensing interfaces.
Note
If you install a NetMod in an incompatible slot on your device (for example, inserting a 40G NetMod in
slots 1 and 4 on a Firepower 8250 or Firepower or AMP 8350) or a NetMod is otherwise incompatible
with your system, an error or warning message appears in the web interface of the managing Firepower
Management Center when you attempt to configure the NetMod. Contact Support for assistance.
The following modules contain configurable bypass sensing interfaces:
•
a quad-port 1000BASE-T copper interface with configurable bypass capability
•
a quad-port 1000BASE-SX fiber interface with configurable bypass capability
•
a dual-port 10GBASE (MMSR or SMLR) fiber interface with configurable bypass capability
•
a dual-port 40GBASE-SR4 fiber interface with configurable bypass capability (2U devices only)
The following modules contain non-bypass sensing interfaces:
•
a quad-port 1000BASE-T copper interface without bypass capability
•
a quad-port 1000BASE-SX fiber interface without bypass capability
•
a dual-port 10GBASE (MMSR or SMLR) fiber interface without bypass capability
In addition, a stacking module combines the resources of two or more identically configured appliances.
The stacking module is optional on the Firepower 8140, 8250, and 8350; and is provided in the
Firepower 8260, 8270, 8290 and the Firepower and AMP 8360, 8370, 8390 stacked configurations.
