Citrix ADC MPX
Common hardware components
October 26, 2022
Each platform has front panel and back panel hardware components. The front panel on most appli‑
ances has an LCD display and an RS232 serial console port. The number, type, and location of ports
vary by hardware platform for the following transceivers: copper Ethernet, copper and fiber 1G SFP,
copper 10G Base‑T, 10G SFP+, 40G QSFP+, 50G QSFP28, and 100G QSFP28. The back panel provides
access to the field replaceable units (power supplies and solid‑state drives).
LCD display and LED status indicators
Note
This section does not apply to MPX 9100 and MPX 16000 appliances.
The LCD display on the front of every appliance displays messages about the current operating status
of the appliance. These messages communicate whether your appliance has started properly and
is operating normally. If the appliance is not operating normally, the LCD displays troubleshooting
messages.
The LCD displays live statistics, diagnostic information, and active alerts. The dimensions of the LCD
limit the display to two lines of 16 characters each. As the result, the displayed information flows
through a sequence of screens. Each screen shows information about a specific function.
The LCD has an LED backlight. Normally, the backlight glows steadily. When there is an active alert, it
blinks rapidly. If the alert information exceeds the LCD screen size, the backlight blinks at the begin‑
ning of each display screen. Aer the appliance shuts down, the backlight remains on for one minute
and then automatically turns o.
System status LEDs
On the MPX 22000 and MPX 24000 appliance back panel, system status LEDs indicate the overall status
of the appliance. The following table describes the indicators of the system status LED.
Note: System status LEDs are available on only some Citrix ADC appliances.

Ports
Ports are used to connect the appliance to external devices. Citrix ADC appliances support the follow‑
ing ports:
• RS232 serial ports
• 10/100/1000Base‑T copper Ethernet ports
• 1 GB copper and fiber SFP ports
• 10 GB fiber SFP+
• 25 GB SFP 28
• 40G QSFP+
• 50 GB QSFP28
• 100 GB QSFP28
All Citrix ADC appliances have a combination of some or all of these ports. Cards might be vertical
or horizontal depending on the platform. The number of ports per card varies across platforms. For
better fault tolerance, create link aggregated groups (LAGs) on independent cards. Typically, cards
are vertical on 2U appliances and horizontal on 1U appliances as seen in the following sample illus‑
trations.
© 1999–2023 Cloud Soware Group, Inc. All rights reserved. 12

Citrix ADC MPX
For more information about LAGs, see Configuring Link Aggregation. For details on the type and num‑
ber of ports available on your appliance, see the section describing that platform.
Note
Citrix ADC appliances use the Receive Side Scaling (RSS) feature to optimally distribute and pro‑
cess traic. The RSS implementation is based on Toeplitz hashing which distributes the packet
among its queues based on the 5‑tuple: TCP/IP protocol, source IP address, destination IP ad‑
dress, source port, and destination port.
RS232 serial port
The RS232 serial console port provides a connection between the appliance and a computer, allowing
direct access to the appliance for initial configuration and troubleshooting.
All hardware platforms ship with an appropriate serial cable used to connect your computer to the
appliance. For instructions on connecting your computer to the appliance, see Install the Hardware.
Copper Ethernet ports
The copper Ethernet ports installed on many models of the appliance are standard RJ45 ports.
There are two types of copper Ethernet ports that can be installed on your appliance:
• 10/100BASE‑T port
The 10/100BASE‑T port has a maximum transmission speed of 100 megabits per second (Mbps).
Most platforms have at least one 10/100BASE‑T port.
• 10/100/1000BASE‑T port
The 10/100/1000BASE‑T port has a maximum transmission speed of 1 gigabit per second, 10
times faster than the other type of copper Ethernet port.
Most platforms have at least one 10/100/1000Base‑T port.
To connect any of these ports to your network, plug one end of a standard Ethernet cable into the
port. Plug the other end into the appropriate network connector.
Management ports
Management ports are standard copper Ethernet ports (RJ45). They are used for direct access to the
appliance for system administration functions.

Citrix ADC MPX
1G SFP and 10G SFP+ ports
A 1G SFP port can operate at a speed of 1 Gbps. It accepts either a copper 1G SFP transceiver for
operation as a copper Ethernet port, or a fiber 1G SFP transceiver for operation as a fiber optic port.
The 10G SFP+ modules are dual‑speed capable and support both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps, depending
on the peer switch that the model connects to. You need a fiber optic cable to connect to a port. If
the other end of the fiber optic cable is attached to a 1G SFP port, the 10G SFP+ port automatically
negotiates to 1G speed.
Ports compatibility:
On some appliances, the 10G slot supports copper 1G transceivers, which can operate at up to 1 Gbps
in a 10 Gbps slot.
Notes:
• Certain platforms have 10G slots that do not support copper transceivers. Check with your ac‑
count representative for support details.
• You cannot insert a fiber 1G transceiver into a 10G slot.
• You cannot insert a 10G transceiver into a 1G slot.
25G, 40G, 50G, and 100G ports
A 100G port can support five speeds: 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G, and 100G. 1G speed is not supported on the
100G port. 50G and 100G ports use the same transceiver. 40G QSFP+ are high‑speed ports that can
operate at speeds of up to 40 Gbps. The appliance determines the speed, and not the port.
Only 50G/100G (QSFP28) and 40G (QSFP+) transceivers can be directly used on a QSFP28 interface.
Use a QSA28 adapter on a QSFP28 interface to use 10G (SFP+) and 25G (SFP28) transceivers.
The following diagram shows the transceiver compatibility.
