Acme Packet 6300/6350 Physical Interfaces

The Acme Packet 6300/6350 integrates interfaces for console, alarm, USB, and network management into the rear of the chassis, above the power supplies. The system also includes three PHY slots.

Acme Packet 6300/6350 Management Interfaces

Management interfaces include 3 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet interfaces labeled Mgmt 0, 1, and 2. (These interfaces are often referred to as wancom0, 1, and 2.) Mgmt 0, is for SSH access to the ACLI. The other two interfaces are used for state replication for High Availability (HA). For HA, connect these interfaces directly using a crossover cable.

The console port is serial and the alarm is "dry contact".

The USB port is reserved for use by Oracle personnel, only. The following illustration shows the ports.
