For the 40-Gb network module, you connect the two ports to form a paired set. For the 1/10-Gb network
modules, you connect the top port to the bottom port to form a hardware bypass paired set. This allows
traffic to flow even if the security appliance fails or loses power.
If you have an inline interface set with a mix of hardware bypass and nonhardware bypass interfaces, you
cannot enable hardware bypass on this inline interface set. You can only enable hardware bypass on an inline
interface set if all the pairs in the inline set are valid hardware bypass pairs.

1-Gb SX/10-Gb SR/10-Gb LR Network Module with Hardware Bypass
The following figure shows the front panel of the 1-Gb SX, 10-Gb SR and 10-Gb LR hardware bypass network
modules FPR2K-NM-6X1SX-F, FPR2K-NM-6X10SR-F, FPR2K-NM-6X10LR-F). This is a single-wide
module that does not support hot swapping. The six ports are numbered from top to bottom, left to right. Pair
ports 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and 5 and 6 to form hardware bypass paired sets.
Make sure you have the correct firmware package and software version installed to support this network
module. See Cisco FXOS Troubleshooting Guide for the Firepower 1000/2100 with Firepower Threat Defense
for the procedure to verify your firmware package and software version. See Cisco Firepower 2100 ASA
Platform Mode FXOS Configuration Guide for the procedure to upgrade the firmware package for the Firepower
2100 running ASA with FXOS. See the Cisco Firepower Compatibility Guide and the Cisco ASA Compatibility
guide, which provide Cisco software and hardware compatibility, including operating system and hosting
environment requirements, for each supported version
