SRX Series Services Gateway Gigabit-Backplane Physical Interface Modules Overview
A Gigabit-Backplane Physical Interface Module (GPIM) is a network interface card (NIC)
that installs in the front slots of the SRX550 or SRX650 Services Gateway to provide
physical connections to a LAN or a WAN. The GPIM receives incoming packets from a
network and transmits outgoing packets to a network. These modules complement the
onboard Ethernet interfaces to extend the types and port counts of network connections
for the LAN or WAN.
Interface module terminology:
•
GPIM—Network interface card (NIC) that installs in a single-high, single-wide GPIM
front slots of the SRX550 Services Gateway and the SRX650 Services Gateway that
have Gigabit connectivity to the system backplane.
•
XPIM—Can be installed in:
•
SRX550 Services Gateway—only in the 10-Gigabit GPIM slot 3 or in the 20-Gigabit
GPIM slot 6 on the front panel
•
SRX650 Services Gateway—only in the 20-Gigabit GPIM slots (slots 2 and 6 on the
front panel)
The GPIMs can have one of the following configurations:
•
Single-high, single-wide LAN switch GPIM that uses one slot
•
Double-high, single-wide LAN switch GPIM that uses two standard slots vertically
•
Double-high, double-wide LAN switch GPIM that uses two standard slots vertically
and two standard slots horizontally
