XGS 116

ARMADA · CN9131 · 9 front ports: 8 RJ45, 1 SFP · added, untested

Added, untested

Added from the vendor's board file and device tree - research and development, because there is no XGS 116 here to test on. It installs, its status page says so, and its first boot holds its ports against what its coprocessor reports: an owner's report confirms this page or corrects it. Appliances of these models will be bought to test on.

The ARMADA family, driven by npuep: 9 front ports (8 RJ45, 1 SFP), the interfaces npup1 to npup9, and the internet on Port1 when the first boot sets the appliance up by itself.

Approximate. The ports, their sockets, labels and speeds are the vendor's board file's; where they sit is modelled on the panel of the XGS 136, not seen on this model.

Every port

In the order of the host's interfaces, npupN. The tag is the coprocessor's name for the port, which the driver uses; a port behind the switch reaches the coprocessor through the switch's one link to it.

Two computers in one box: the host runs OPNsense and reaches a front port only through the coprocessor, which owns them all. The links and the MACs are the vendor's board file's and device tree's; the host is what has been read of it; nothing here has been seen on this model.

Expansion modules

Its bay is the host's, not the coprocessor's: the vendor sells 3G/4G, 5G, Wi-Fi (116w) for it. None has been fitted here, and none goes through the coprocessor.

The vendor's figures

As the vendor's datasheet prints them; not measured here. Its stated method is Keysight-Ixia BreakingPoint under ideal conditions; the MTU, the ports and whether a figure counts both directions are not stated.

If you have one

Install it and it runs as this page says. Ten minutes after its first boot, portcheck.py holds the ports above against what its coprocessor reports and, with problem reports on, files the answer - which is what confirms this page or corrects it. Or say what works yourself: report your appliance.
