Management Modules
The management module provides general-purpose CPU delivery, and contains dedicated High Availability (HA) and management interfaces. It handles tasks such as management access, session setup and termination, and Internet Key Exchange (IKE) negotiation.
Note: There are currently two management modules: The 5000-M and 5000-M2.
The 5000-M Management Module
The 5000-M is based around a powerful, 600-MHz PowerPC CPU, which assists other system elements, primarily with non-flow related tasks. The 5000-M management module provides overall management and control of the system. Although it performs system management, the primary function of the 5000-M is to support the other modules.
Features of the 5000-M module include:
•A management port, for WebUI management sessions or Command Line Interface sessions.
•A console port, for serial terminal emulation programs such as HyperTerminal.
•Two High Availability (HA) ports.
•A modem port.
The 5000-M also has port Link and Activity LEDs, CPU utilization indicators, a High Availability (HA) LED, an Alarm LED, a Status LED, a Flash LED, and a Power LED. In addition, it has a compact flash slot for flash memory card installation.
