See the LightSpeed 10/25/40/100G QSFP28 Ports Administration Guide.

Mapping of 25G Ports and Interface Names in Gaia OS

  • In Gaia OS, port names of the installed cards start from the name "eth<X>-01".

    If a card has several ports, then the port names are from eth<X>-01 to ethX-0<Y>, where:

    • <X> is the slot number (see the slot diagram in the corresponding section for your appliance model).

    • <Y> is the port number on the card.

    Examples: eth1-01, eth3-02

  • Non-Maestro configuration refers to the connection of Security Appliances directly to your network and to the Check Point Management Server.

Important - You must follow the guidelines in sk181465 to insert the line cards in a specific order.
