hardware platform comes equipped with four media ports and is available in three models based on the media port configuration. Customers must purchase the appropriate model based on their interface and capacity requirements. The media ports are enabled on the chassis depending upon the network interface license installed.| Caption |

| Media Port Speed | Description |
|---|
| 10 Gbps | In 2 x 10 Gbps mode:
| | 1 Gbps | In 4 x 1 Gbps mode: - Media 0, Media 1, Media 2, and Media 3 run at 1 Gbps and all the four ports are configurable.
- Pkt2 and Pkt3 ports do not operate without the 4 x1 Gbps license.
Media 0 socket maps to pkt0, Media1 socket maps to pkt1, Media2 socket maps to pkt2, and Media 3 socket maps to pkt3.
In 2 x 1 Gbps mode: - Media 0 and Media 1 run at 1 Gbps.
- Media 2 and Media 3 are inactive.
- Media 0 socket maps to pkt0, Media1 socket maps to pkt1, Media 2 socket maps to pk2, and Media 3 socket maps to pkt3.

- The 2 x 10 Gbps flavor of the SBC 5400 does not support full-bandwidth DoS protection on both the packet ports.
- On a 2 x 10 Gbps flavor of the SBC 5400, the two 10 GE packet ports do not support an active-standby port redundancy model with each other. Both the ports are active when enabled on an Active SBC node, and both the ports are standby on a Standby SBC node.
- A single SBC-1 X 10 GMP packet port license is used to enable both 10 GE packet ports on an SBC 5400 in 10 Gbps mode.
|
| Info |
|---|
|
- The 2 x 1 Gbps mode is a default mode that any SBC 5400 platform can use. A license is required to use both 4 x 1 Gbps and 2 x 10 Gbps modes.
- If there is no license, only ports 0 and 1 are operable.
|
Media port speed is user-configurable. The following licenses support the media port configurations:
- SBC-4 X 1 GMP – This license allows four 1 Gbps media ports.
- SBC-1 X 10GMP – This license allows two 10 Gbps media ports.
Customers may upgrade or change the licensed network interfaces on their
systems after initial purchase as below, as needed.| Caption |

Any changes to the media port speed, deletes the existing configuration. To use the option, Enable 10G Media Speed, power off the host first. |
SBC 5400 hardware platform provides additional management ports which can be configured with the licenses for of the following three packet port configuration:
- One packet port with 10Gb/s speed mode.
- The 10Gb mode always operates on media port 0.
- The 10Gb mode requires the media ports:1, 2, and 3 to be inactive.
- Four packet ports with 1Gb/s speed mode.
| Note |
|---|
SBC 5400 does not require any additional licenses to configure two packet ports with 1Gb/s speed mode. |
The following two new licenses are added to SBC 5400 to support packet port configuration:
The sub-system, Node Routing Service (NRS), is responsible for enabling or activating the management and packet ports in SBC 5400 system and Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is the subsystem that monitors those ports. Each of these sub-systems are modified to check both the configuration and the licensing. Media port operating in 10GbE mode supports 10GB/s speed with full duples and autonegatiations is unsupported in this mode. And media ports operating in 1GbE mode supports auto-negotiation with advertised capabilites of 1Gb/s speed in full duplex mode.
