Slot Information in Security Devices

Physical Interface Modules Supported by SSG520 and SSG550 Security Devices
398
Physical Interface Modules—The SSG520 and SSG550 security devices use WAN data
links to transmit and receive traffic across geographically dispersed networks. You
define the properties of the data link by configuring the WAN interface that corresponds
to a port on an SSG Physical Interface Module (PIM).
Copper and Fiber Interface Modules—These modules provide additional Ethernet ports.
Management Modules—These modules provide management functionality for the
ISG2000 and ISG1000 devices. The NetScreen 5000 line network modules are known
as Secure Port Modules (SPMs); SPMs handle general packet processing at gigabit
speeds, enabled by ASIC support.
NOTE: On SSG520 and SSG550 security devices only, slot 0 is reserved for
the device motherboard. The card type is referred to as "4 Ethernet interfaces
(10/100/1000) fixed."
The Chassis screens provide additional information about network modules installed in
the available chassis slots of an ISG1000 or ISG2000 security device. The information
displayed in the Chassis screens, including the version and serial number of the card, is
obtained from the card installed in the physical device and is read-only.
You must configure the network module before physical interfaces appear in the NSM
UI (even for imported devices).
The WAN interface type PIMs that are supported by SSG520 and SSG550 devices are
displayed in Table 91 on page 398:
Table 91: PIMs Supported by SSG520 andSSG 550 Security Devices
Parameters Description
Serial Serial PIMs on SSG devices have two serial ports per PIM, which support
full-duplex, synchronous data transmission. These ports can transmit packets
at speeds up to 8 Mbps. You cannot use these serial ports to connect a console
or modem.
T1 T1 PIMs on SSG devices contain two T1 ports with integrated channel service
unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU). These ports provide physical connections
to T1 or fractional T1 network media types.
E1 E1 PIMs on SSG devices have two E1 ports with integrated CSU/DSU. These
ports provide physical connections to E1 or fractional E1 network media types.
T3 (also known Digital signal level 3 (DS3) PIMs on SSG devices contain one physical DS3
as DS3) port with integrated DSU. This port provides physical connection to T3 network
media types at a bit rate of 44.736 Mbps.
