Configuring Port Speed

SSM Port Speed

SSM Ports

Port Speed

1 - 7

The port speed is can be: Auto, 1G, or 10G

8

The port speed is always 10G.

This is the Sync port for Dual Chassis.

9 - 16 on SSM160

These are the QSFP ports.

The port speed is according to the SSM QSFP port mode.

9 - 40 on SSM440

These are the QSFP ports.

The port speed is according to the SSM QSFP port mode.

Note - A license is required to use the 100GB ports on SSM440.

Supported Fanouts on SSM440:

Configuring the Speed of SSM Ports 1-7

Description

Use these commands in Gaia gClishClosed The name of the global command line shell in Check Point Gaia operating system for Security Gateway Modules. Commands you run in this shell apply to all Security Gateway Module in the Security Group. to configure and show the speed of the SSM data ports 1-7.

Configuration is saved to the database on all SGMs.

Syntax to configure the speed

set interface <Name of Port> link-speed <Speed>

Syntax to show the configured speed

show interface <Name of Port> speed

For more information, see the R81 Scalable Platforms Gaia Administration Guide > Chapter Network Management > Section Network Interfaces.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

<Name of Port>

Interface name in the "eth<X>-<YZ>" format.

Example: eth1-01

<Speed>

Interface speed:

  • auto - Automatically selected based on the hardware detected

  • 1G - 1 Gbit/second

  • 10G - 10 Gbit/second

Example

[Expert@MyChassis-ch0x-0x:0]# gclish

[Global] MyChassis-ch01-01 > set interface eth1-01 link-speed 1G

1_01:

success

 

[Global] MyChassis-ch01-01 > show interface eth1-01 speed

Configuring the QSFP Port Mode on SSMs

Description

Use these commands in GaiaClosed Check Point security operating system that combines the strengths of both SecurePlatform and IPSO operating systems. gClish to configure and show the QSFP port mode on the SSM.

Configuration is saved to the database on all SGMs.

Important - Changing the QSFP port mode causes the SSM to reboot. This can cause traffic outage.

Syntax

set ssm id <SSM ID> qsfp-ports-mode <QSFP Port Mode>

Parameters

Parameter

Description

<SSM ID>

SSM identification number: 1 or 2.

<QSFP Port Mode>

Specifies the QSFP port mode and speeds.
