In the SSB 3500 Applicance the two physical SFP+ ports (labelled 5 & 6) and the physical ethernet port (labelled 1) are bonded together into one virtual interface, which can be used as the external interface. The SSB will see these three interfaces as a single logical interface. Therefore, only one of the interfaces will actually be used. One Identity recommends that only one of these interfaces is connected to the network.
For a detailed explanation of the function of each network interface please see the ‘Network Interfaces’ section in the Admin Guide.
