Back to Product Catalog

Fixed ports and modular expansion

Modular service node for flexible visibility deployments. FSN-400 is available in two chassis options: FSN-400-R with up to three traffic module expansion slots, and FSN-400-F with up to two traffic module expansion slots.

  • One dedicated IPMI RJ-45 management port
  • Two 1Gb/10Gb RJ-45 ports
  • FSN-400-R: up to 3 traffic module expansion slots
  • FSN-400-F: up to 2 traffic module expansion slots
  • The FlowDirector Service Node-400 (FSN-400) is a 1U rack-mountable modular appliance that delivers higher-capacity software-defined visibility services for enterprise-scale deployments.
