Install, Remove, and Replace the Network Module
You can remove and replace the network module (NM-2) in the Secure Firewall 3100. Hot-swapping of identical modules is supported, but if you replace a network module with another type, you must reboot the system so that the new network module is recognized.
See the configuration guide for your operating system for the procedure for managing network modules.
Caution |
You can install all supported network modules in all Secure Firewall 3100 models, but the 40-Gb network module (FPR-X-NM-4X40G) and the 1/10/25-Gb network module (FPR-X-NM-8X25G) are only recognized when installed in the 3130 and 3140. The software does not support these network modules for the 3105, 3110, and 3120. |
This procedure describes how to install a network module into an empty slot that has never contained a network module, and how to remove an installed network module and replace it with another network module.
