Logical Interfaces
All of these physical interfaces are separated into logical interfaces defined by FIPS 140-2, as described
in the following table.

Power Supply
Data input and output, control input, status output, and power interfaces are defined as follows:
Data input and output are the packets that use the firewall, VPN, and routing functionality of the modules.
•
Control input consists of manual control inputs for power and reset through the power and reset
switch. It also consists of all of the data that is entered into the controller while using the management
interfaces.
•
Status output consists of the status indicators displayed through the LEDs, the status data that is
output from the controller while using the management interfaces, and the log file.
•
LEDs indicate the physical state of the module, such as power-up (or rebooting), utilization level,
activation state (including fan, ports, and power). The log file records the results of self-tests,
configuration errors, and monitoring data.
•
A power supply is used to connect the electric power cable.
The controller distinguishes between different forms of data, control, and status traffic over the network
ports by analyzing the packets header information and contents.
