Port Assignments on the Newer Models

WBG-4500-D

This appliance model has six network interfaces, a serial interface, and an RMM interface on its rear panel.

The network interfaces include two onboard interfaces and four interfaces on a built-in IO module on the lower right of the panel.

The network interfaces provide ports, which the operating system assigns names to as follows:

Position	Interface	Name assigned to port on interface
1	Network interface 1	eth0
2	Network interface 2	eth1
3	Network interface 3	eth2
4	Network interface 4	eth3
5	Network interface 5	eth4
6	Network interface 6	eth5
7	RMM For operating the Remote Management Module (RMM) with Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
8	Serial

WBG-5000-D and WBG-5500-D

These appliance models use the same hardware platform, which has six network interfaces, a serial interface, and an RMM interface on its rear panel.

The network interfaces include two onboard interfaces, two interfaces on a built-in IO module on the lower right, and two on a network interface card that is preinstalled in a card slot on the upper right.

Four more network interfaces can be added on a network interface card that is installed in the other card slot on the panel. This will increase the number of network interfaces to ten. You must purchase this card on your own and install it.

The network interfaces provide ports, which the operating system assigns names to as follows:

Position	Interface	Name assigned to port on interface
1	Network interface 1	eth0
2	Network interface 2	eth1
3	Serial
4	RMM For operating the Remote Management Module (RMM) with Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
5	Network interface 3	eth2
6	Network interface 4	eth3
7	Network interface 5	eth5
8	Network interface 6	eth4

WBG-4500-E

This appliance model has six network interfaces and an RMM interface on its rear panel.

The network interfaces include four onboard interfaces and two on a network interface card that is preinstalled in a card slot on the upper right.

The network interfaces provide ports, which the operating system assigns names to as shown in the following table.

NOTE: Traffic can be routed with different speed rates through the ports on these interfaces. See the port column of the table.

Position	Interface	Name assigned to port on interface
1	RMM For operating the Remote Management Module (RMM) with Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
2	Network interface 1	eth2 (10,100, or 1000 Mbit/s)
3	Network interface 2	eth0 (10,100, or 1000 Mbit/s)
4	Network interface 3	eth3 (10,100, or 1000 Mbit/s)
5	Network interface 4	eth1 (10,100, or 1000 Mbit/s)
6	Network interface 5	eth5 (10,100, or 1000 Mbit/s)
7	Network interface 6	eth4 (10,100, or 1000 Mbit/s)

WBG-5000-E and WBG-5500-E

These appliance models use the same hardware platform, which has six network interfaces, a serial interface, and an RMM interface on its rear panel.

The network interfaces include two onboard interfaces, two interfaces on a built-in IO module on the lower right, and two on a copper network interface card, which is preinstalled in a card slot on the upper right, as shown in this diagram.

The network interfaces provide ports, which the operating system assigns names to as shown in the following table.

NOTE: Traffic can be routed with different speed rates through the ports on these interfaces, see the port column.

Position	Interface	Name assigned to port on interface
1	Network interface 1 (onboard, left)	eth0 (1000 or 10000 Mbit/s)
2	Network interface 2 (onboard, right)	eth1 (1000 or 10000 Mbit/s)
3	Serial
4	RMM For operating the Remote Management Module (RMM) with Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
5	Network interface 3 (on built in IO module, left)	eth3 (1000 or 10000 Mbit/s)
6	Network interface 4 (on built in IO module, right)	eth2 (1000 or 10000 Mbit/s)
7	Network interface 5 (on preinstalled copper NIC, left)	eth5 (100, 1000, or 10000 Mbit/s)
8	Network interface 6 (on preinstalled copper NIC, right)	eth4 (100, 1000, or 10000 Mbit/s)

Four more network interfaces on a fiber card can be added to this configuration, which will increase the number of network interfaces to ten.

You must purchase this card on your own and install it in the slot on the upper left.

WBG-5000-E and WBG-5500-E (Alternative Configuration)

In an alternative configuration, these appliance models can be run with six network interfaces as follows:

Two onboard interfaces
No built-in IO module
Two interfaces on a preinstalled network interface card in the slot on the upper right
Two interfaces on a preinstalled network interface card in the slot on the upper left

You can also purchase a fiber card with four network interfaces and use it in this configuration. Remove the card with two network interfaces from the slot on the upper left then and install this card. This will increase the number of network interfaces to eight.

For more information about this alternative configuration, including the port assignments, see Alternate Network Interface Configuration for WBG-5000-E and WBG-5500-E.

WBG-5000-E2 and WBG-5500-E2

These appliance models are shipped with four network interfaces as follows:

Two onboard interfaces
No built-in IO module
Two interfaces on a preinstalled network interface card in the slot on the upper right
No network interface card preinstalled in the slot on the upper left

You can also purchase a fiber card with four network interfaces and install it in the slot on the upper left. This will increase the number of network interfaces to eight for each model.

For more information about these appliance models, including the port assignments, see Add a 4-port NIC Card to the Web Gateway WBG-5000-E2 and WBG-5500-E2 Appliances.

WBG-5000-F and WBG-5500-F

These appliance models use similar hardware platforms with, for example, the same chassis. They are both shipped with four network interfaces. More network interfaces can be added, see further below in this section.

Each of the four initial network interfaces provides an RJ45 port. They are located on a network interface card (NIC), which is a PCIe riser card that is preinstalled in the slot within the upper right corner on the rear of the appliance box, as shown in the illustration below, where this slot is labeled as (1).

Slots (A1) and (A2) are for installing additional network interface cards. Slot (2) is currently not used for installing a card.

The network interfaces provide ports, which the operating system assigns names to, for example, eth0 or eth1.

More network interfaces with ports can be added to this configuration by installing the following types of network interface cards (NICs):

Fiber network interface card with four network interfaces providing ports and short-range transceivers
Fiber network interface card with four network interfaces providing ports and long-range transceivers
Copper network interface card with two network interfaces providing ports

The cards can be installed in slots (A1) and (A2) on the rear of an appliance model as shown in the table.

For WBG-5000-F, the number of network interfaces can be increased this way from four to eight. For WBG-5500-F, it can be increased from four to twelve.
