Install Fiber Optic Card in ESA 690

[soradej.th]

Hi,

I would like to know, if I use ESA-690 and install Fiber Optic Card (10Gbps). Can I still use management port (RJ-45) on ESA?

Best Regards,

Hello Soradej,

Please refer to : http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/email-security-appliance/data-sheet-c78-729751.html

The C690 are orderable with a fiber card enabled on it.

Installing a Fiber Optic Card yourself should you not have purchased a Fiber enabled ESA is not supported from my understanding and it should be ordered combined with your purchase.

Hello Mathew,

Thanks for your answer. If I order 690 and fiber card, Can I still user management port (RJ-45) or not? Or I must use fiber port for management too.

Hello Soradej,

Yes I believe you can still use the management port as well.

Using the Fiber option will allow you additional NIC ports for usage.
