-Front Panel

Refer to the following front panel and the associated table to understand the ports and LED lighting on the ports.

MGMT  

MGMT Port - RJ45: The MGMT port is a dedicated 1GE interface for appliance management and SafeMode access.

  • Solid green = link at 1G or lower
  • Blinking green = activity
console   Console Port - RJ45: Serial Console for CLI access
X32 - X33

Port form factor: QSFP28 indicating MAX supporting speed of 100G.

Supported speeds: 10G*/40G/100G
*with QSFP to SFP+ adapter

100/40GE QSFP28 Ports and LEDs:

  • Solid amber = link at 100G or 40G
  • Blinking amber = activity
  • Solid green = link at 1G or lower
  • Blinking green = activity
  • Off = no link
Breakout cables are not supported on these ports
X24 - X31

Port form factor: SFP/SFP+/SFP28

Supported speeds: 10M/100M/1G/10G/25G

25/10/5/2.5GE SFP28 Ports and LEDs:

  • Solid amber = link at 25G, 10G, 5G, or 2.5G
  • Blinking amber = activity at 25G, 10G, 5G, or 2.5G
  • Solid green = link at 1G or lower
  • Blinking green = activity
  • Off = no link
X20 - X23

Port form factor: SFP+

Supported speeds: 10M/100M/1G/10G

10/5/2.5GE SFP+ Ports and LEDs:

  • Solid amber = link at 10G, 5G, or 2.5G
  • Blinking amber = activity
  • Solid green = link at 1G or lower
  • Blinking green = activity
  • Off = no link
X16 - X19

10/5/2.5/1GE Copper RJ45 Ports and LEDs:

  • X18 and X19 are LAN Bypass ports
  • Solid green = link at speeds 1G or lower
  • Blinking green = activity at 1G or lower
  • Amber = unused
  • Off = no link
X0 - X15

1GE Copper RJ45 Ports and LEDs:

  • Solid green = link at speeds 1G or lower
  • Blinking green = activity at 1G or lower
  • Amber = unused
  • Off = no link
 

SafeMode Button: A recessed button used to enter SafeMode:

  • If NSsp is up, press button with a narrow, straight object.
  • If NSsp is down, press while connecting NSsp to power and hold until Test LED blinks yellow three times.
 

Power Button:

  • Short press powers ON if button was used to power system off.
  • Short press powers OFF with graceful shutdown. Test and Alarm LEDs turn red. Standby power to some circuitry stays on.
  • Long press (5+ sec) = forced shutdown. Standby power to some circuitry stays on.
 

LAN Bypass LED: When NSsp is without power and LED is off, LAN Bypass state is difficult to distinguish. It can be either:

  • Bypass disabled (default), traffic cannot pass
  • Bypass enabled, power is lost, traffic can pass

Yellow = bypass active and traffic is passing while NSsp is powered but not available, such as during reboot.

Green = bypass enabled and traffic can pass if firewall goes down.

SS   USB SS 3.0 Ports: For configuration, recovery, re-imaging the NSsp, and USB WWAN device support.
 

Storage LED: Status on internal and external storage.

  • Blinking green = activity
  • Yellow = storage warning
  • Off = no activity
 

Alarm LED:

  • Red = high Level alarm (such as fan failure) or power down requested
  • Yellow = lower level alarm
  Test LED:
  • Red = power down requested
  • Yellow = initializing
  • Blinking yellow = SafeMode/FIPS test in progress
  • Off = normal
 

Power LED: 1 = Primary, 2 = Redundant

  • Blue = powered on

  • Yellow = defective redundant power supply
