Input and Output Ports¶

Networking Ports¶
The WAN1 and WAN2 Combo-Ports are shared ports. Each has an RJ-45 port and an SFP port. Only the RJ-45 or the SFP connector can be used each port.
Note
Each port, WAN1 and WAN2, is descrete and individual. You can use the RJ-45 connector on one port, and the SFP connector on the other.

SFP+ Ethernet Ports¶
WAN3 and WAN4 are discrete ports, each with dedicated 10 Gbps back to the Intel SoC.
Warning
There is an Intel-supplied driver issue for the C3000, preventing 1Gbps and 10Gbps copper modules from being recognized on the SFP+ ports. Copper modules are not supported.
Compatible SFP/SFP+ Modules¶
Below are some general guidelines for compatible SFP/SFP+ modules:
Intel-branded SFP+ SR/LR Dual Speed (1G/10G) optical modules.
Intel-branded SFP+ DA twin-ax cables that comply with SFF-8431 v4.1 and SFF-8472 v10.4 specifications. Note: Limited to 10G link speed (no 1G support).
Third party SFP+ DA twin-ax cables that comply with SFF-8431 v4.1 and SFF-8472 v10.4 specifications. Note: Limited to 10G link speed (no 1G support).
