Front Panel Features
This section describes the front features and indicators of the ASA 5585-X IPS SSP. The SFP and SFP+
modules are optional and not included with the ASA 5585-X IPS SSP. You can purchase them
separately. For 10 Gb, you need SFP+. For 1 Gb, you need SFP. The two ports are the same, but you can
only use 10 Gb if you buy a license. Otherwise, the ports are restricted to 1 Gb. The ports are always
10 GB-enabled for the IPS SSP-40 and IPS SSP-60. The interfaces are called TenGigabitEthernet 1/x
whether they are 10 GB-enabled or not.
Figure 7-1 shows the front view of the IPS SSP-10 and IPS SSP-20.
Note The illustration shows IPS SSP-10, but it applies to both the -10 and -20 models.
