Installing, Using, and Replacing ADP
Services Modules
This chapter describes the Accelerated Data Path (ADP) services modules available for the
Nokia IP560 appliance and how to connect those modules to your network. It includes the
following sections:
Installing and Replacing ADP Modules
Nokia ADP Module LED Reference Information

Note
In this chapter, network interface cards (NICs) refer to any installable PMC interface devices
other than ADP modules.
Nokia IP560 ADP modules help to accelerate firewall and VPN throughput. ADP is a
technology designed to forward packets at the highest possible rate. Nokia ADP modules
provide this technology by offloading processing from the CPU to network processors.
For IP560 appliances, ADP is implemented with a single module providing a total of eight ports.
The ADP use swappable small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers to provide Gigabit
Ethernet copper, Gigabit Ethernet short-range fiber, and Gigabit Ethernet long-range fiber
interface options. Nokia ADP module transceivers are hot swappable.
Note
Nokia supports only ADP modules and transceivers sold by Nokia. For further information,
contact your Nokia representative.
