8-Port Gigabit Ethernet SFP XPIM
8-Port Gigabit Ethernet SFP XPIM Overview
The ports of the 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet small form-factor pluggable Gigabit-Backplane Physical Interface Module (SFP XPIM) can be used for connecting to Ethernet WAN service as well as for local server connectivity at Gigabit Ethernet speeds. The XPIM enables Layer 2 line-rate Gigabit switching and system-processor dependent Layer 3 service with connection of up to eight SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports. The 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet SFP XPIM complements the on-board 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces with extended WAN connectivity. It supports a variety of transceivers. This XPIM can be used in copper and optical environments to provide maximum flexibility when upgrading from an existing infrastructure to Metro Ethernet.
The 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet XPIM can be installed only in XPIM slots 3 and 6 on the SRX550 High Memory Services Gateways.
Figure 1 shows the front panel of the 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet SFP XPIM.

The 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet small form-factor pluggable XPIM (SFP XPIM) has the following key features:
8 triple-speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) Ethernet ports, single-high card
PoE not supported
PCI-Express interface for control and management
I2C interface for module monitor and identification
Maximum module power of 40 W without PoE
JTAG support for boundary scan test
If you face a problem running a Juniper Networks device that uses a third-party optic or cable, the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) can help you diagnose the source of the problem. Your JTAC engineer might recommend that you check the third-party optic or cable and potentially replace it with an equivalent Juniper Networks optic or cable that is qualified for the device.
8-Port Gigabit Ethernet SFP XPIM Components
The 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet small form-factor pluggable Gigabit-Backplane Physical Interface Module (SFP XPIM) contains the components listed in Table 1.
Component | Location | Description |
---|---|---|
ONLINE/OFFLINE button | Right side of the XPIM | Use the ONLINE/OFFLINE button to gracefully shut down the XPIM. Press and hold the button for 4 to 5 seconds, and then release. The XPIM gracefully shuts down and turns off the power supply units (PSUs). To power up the XPIM (if the Services and Routing Engine [SRE] is off), press and hold the ONLINE/OFFLINE button for 4 to 5 seconds. |
Two captive screws | One on each side of the XPIM | Use the captive screws to hold the XPIM in place. |

8-Port Gigabit Ethernet SFP XPIM Basic Configuration
The 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet small form-factor pluggable Gigabit-Backplane Physical Interface Module (SFP XPIM) provides connectivity to a single Gigabit Ethernet device or to a network. After you install the XPIM in the services gateway, you configure a network interface on the XPIM.
The SRX550 High Memory Services Gateway does not support hot-swappable functionality for GPIMs.
