Switch tab (NSR, NSR Lite, GSR, and BSR)

These functions are only available on Nodegrid NSR, NSR Lite, GSR, and BSR devices.

NSR

The NSR built-in switch ports are SFP0, SFP1, BACKPLANE0 and BACKPLANE1. The NSR also supports network expansion cards. By factory default, the SFP0, BACKPLANE0, and the network expansion card ports are in VLAN 1; the SFP1 and BACKPLANE1 are in VLAN2.  

The network expansion cards need to be placed in the front three slots to reach the Nodegrid OS.

NSR Lite

The NSR Lite doesn’t have a built-in switch, but it supports network expansion cards. The switch ports are connected to the OS via a tunnel interface BACKPLANE0. The network cards need to be placed in the front 3 slots, and If more than one network expansion card is present, they need to be in consecutive slots. 

GSR

The GSR has a built-in 8-port switch, BACKPLANE0 and BACKPLANE1. The first four ports also support PoE. 

BSR

The BSR has a built-in 4-port switch and BACKPLANE0.
