FP-4110 with Fail-to-Wire on Supervisor

[hanguye3]

Hi team,

Our customer is using the FP4110 with the following components:

- 01 Supervisor: Cisco Firepower 4000 Supervisor with 8 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

- 01 Network modules: 8 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) network modules.

They have purchased 08 module GLC-TE 1Gb to deploy on the Supervisor. The question is can we have anyway to support Fail-to-Wire feature (ex: software bridge) on the Supervisor?

Highly appreciate for any quick support.

Thanks in advance.

Br,

hainm

Hi Hainm,

Fail to wire does not support in supervisor modules, Customer need to buy fail to wire modules separately Below are the fail to wire modules supports in 4100 FTD. 

FPR4K-NM-8X1G-F

FPR4K-NM-6X1SX-F

FPR4K-NM-6X10SR-F

FPR4K-NM-6X10LR-F

FPR4K-NM-2X40G-F

The fail-to-wire network modules have built-in SFPs. Hardware bypass is supported only on a fixed set of ports. You can pair Port 1 with Port 2, Port 3 with Port 4, but you cannot pair Port 1 with Port 4 for example.
