Port and Interface Numbering

Each port on the firewall corresponds to a unique interface name in the CLI. The four Chassis cluster (HA) ports (referred to as PIC 0 ports of FPC 0), four 40/100-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 (quad small form-factor pluggable) ports (referred to as PIC 0 ports of FPC 1), and eight 1/10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports (referred to as PIC 1 ports of FPC 1). Figure 6 shows the SRX4600 Interface Port numbering.

In the syntax of an interface name, a hyphen (-) separates the media type from the FPC slot number (represented as an FPC in the CLI). The FPC slot number corresponds to the first number in the interface. The second number in the interface corresponds to the PIC number. The last number in the interface matches the port number on the PIC. Slashes (/) separate the FPC number from the PIC number and port number:

type-fpc/pic/port

  • type—Media type, which identifies the network device. For example:

    • ge—Gigabit Ethernet interface

    • so—SONET/SDH interface

    • xe—10-Gigabit Ethernet interface

    For a complete list of media types, see Interface Naming Overview.

  • fpc—FPC number, 0 or 1.

  • pic—PIC number, 0 or 1.

  • port—Port number.

Figure 6: SRX4600 Interface Port NumberingSRX4600 Interface Port Numbering

The maximum capacity of an SRX4600 Firewall is 400 Gbps, which cannot be oversubscribed. In SRX4600, the network ports are available in two groups (referred to as PICs), with restrictions around the number and type of ports that can be configured without over-subscribtion.

Table 7 lists the different port configurations you can have on SRX4600.

Component

Description

Fan modules

Five airflow out (AFO) fan modules (4+1 redundancy).

Five fan modules for cooling the firewall and its components. Four fan modules are required for proper air flow across the chassis internal components. The fifth fan module provides redundancy.

PSUs (Power Supply Units)

Two power supply slots. Two 1600W AC or two 1100W DC power supply units (1+1 redundancy) are provided with the firewall.
