Overview
4-Port 40-Gb Network Module
The Secure Firewall 3100 chassis has one network module slot named NM-2. Network modules are optional,
removable I/O modules that provide either additional ports or different interface types. The network module
plugs into the chassis on the front panel. See
slot on the chassis.
The FPR3K-XNM-4X40G supports 40-Gb operation and is supported on the 3130 and 3140. This network
module provides full-duplex Ethernet traffic per port. The 40-Gb network module has four QSFP+ ports. The
40-Gb ports are numbered left to right, Ethernet 2/1 through Ethernet 2/4. See
Transceivers , on page 28
Starting with FTD 7.2 and ASA 7.18.1, you can break the four 40-Gb ports into four 10-Gb ports using the
supported breakout cables (see
cables). With the four-port 40-Gb network module, you now have 16 10-Gb interfaces. The added interfaces
are Ethernet 2/1/1 through Ethernet 2/1/4.

The hardware and the system support hot swapping if you are replacing a network module with the same type
of network module. If you replace the 4-port 40-Gb network module with another supported network module,
you must reboot the chassis so that the new network module is recognized. See the configuration guide for
your operating system for the detailed procedures for managing network modules.
Although you can install the 4-port 40-Gb network in the Secure Firewall 3105, 3110, and 3120, the software
does not recognize it because it is not supported.
