Ethernet network compatibility
The Riverbed appliance supports the following Ethernet networking standards:
•
Ethernet Logical Link Control (LLC) (IEEE 802.2 - 1998)
•
Fast Ethernet 100 Base-TX (IEEE 802.3 - 2008)
•
Gigabit Ethernet over Copper 1000 Base-T and Fiber 1000 Base-SX (LC connector) and Fiber 1000
Base LX (IEEE 802.3 - 2008)
•
10-Gigabit Ethernet over Fiber, 10GBase-LR Single Mode, 10GBase-SR Multimode, and 40-Gigabit
Ethernet over Fiber (IEEE 802.3 - 2008)
The ports (which vary by appliance type) support the following connection types and speeds:
•
Primary
- 10/100/1000 Base-T, autonegotiating
•
Auxiliary
- 10/100/1000 Base-T, autonegotiating
•
LAN
- 10/100/1000 Base-TX or 1000 Base-SX or 1000 Base-LX or 10GBase-LR or 10GBase-SR,
40GBase-LR or 40GBase-SR depending on configuration
•
WAN
- 10/100/1000 Base-TX or 1000 Base-SX or 1000 Base-LX or 10GBase-LR or 10GBase-SR,
40GBase-LR or 40GBase-SR depending on configuration
•
Management
- 10/100/1000 Base-T, autonegotiating
•
Monitor
- 10/100/1000 Base-TX or 1000 Base-SX or 1000 Base-LX or 10GBase-LR or 10GBase-SR,
depending on configuration
1000 Base-SX and 1000 Base-LX interface options aren’t available for the SteelHead 150, 250, and 550
appliances.
The appliance supports VLAN Tagging (IEEE 802.3 - 2008). It doesn’t support the ISL protocol.
All copper interfaces are autosensing for speed and duplex (IEEE 802.3 - 2008).
The appliance autonegotiates speed and duplex mode for all data rates and supports full-duplex mode
and flow control (IEEE 802.3 - 2008). 10-G and 40-G NICs don’t autonegotiate speed and duplex.
A SteelHead appliance with a Gigabit Ethernet card supports jumbo frames on in-path and primary ports.
Note:
For Ethernet compatibility specifics for other platforms, see the installation and configuration guide for the
product.
NIC self-test for SteelHead
The following self-test helps you verify that your card functions properly.
Before you begin, plug a crossover cable between the LAN and WAN on the SteelHead. With the service
enabled and an IP address on the inpath0_0 interface, you will see a link on both interfaces.
To validate a NIC
•
Check the Link/Activity, Bypass, and Disconnect/Block LEDs on the card. For details regarding LEDs,
