r12000-DS Series - r12600-DS / r12800-DS / r12900-DS¶

The r12000-DS (rSeries) is a 1RU appliance that has 3 di!erent Pay-as-you-Grow

licensing options that unlock more CPU resources. The r12600-DS is the base system
and Pay-as-you-Grow (PAYG) licensing options exist to upgrade to the r12800-DS, or
r12900-DS models. There are both AC power versions of the appliance, and DC
power versions that are available. The system comes standard with 2 power supplies.
The r12000-DS platform has 36 physical CPU cores / 72 vCPUs, however 12 of the
vCPUs are dedicated to the F5OS platform layer. Additionally, some vCPUs are
disabled on the r12600-DS and r12800-DS models to provide di!erent price /
performance profiles, which can be unlocked through PAYG licensing. The system
also supports 512GB of RAM and has dual 2TB SSD’s that are RAID-1 mirrored. Below
is a picture of the r12000-DS hardware appliance which can be licensed as an
r12600-DS, r12800-DS, or r12900-DS. It is the same hardware platform for these 3
software licensing options.

The r12000-DS Series appliance has 4 x 100Gb/40Gb ports that support
QSFP28/QSFP+ optics as well as 16 x 25Gb/10Gb ports that support SFP+/SFP28
optics.

Note that adjacent highspeed (40Gb / 100Gb) ports (1.0 & 2.0 or 11.0 & 12.0) must be
configured for the same speed. You cannot have one port at 40Gb and the other at
100Gb currently. You can have ports 1.0 and 2.0 at one speed, and 11.0 & 12.0 at
another. Also, the high-speed ports do not support unbundling into lower speeds
(25Gb / 10Gb); only 40Gb or 100Gb are supported on those ports. For the low-speed
ports (3.0 - 10.0 & 13.0 - 20.0) any combination of 10Gb or 25Gb is supported. The
SFP28 ports are backwards compatible with SFP+.

 Note

F5OS-A 1.8.0 added breakout cable support for 4 x 10Gb on the high-
speed ports (1.0, 2.0, 11.0, 12.0). These ports do not support 4 x 25Gb at
this time.

The r12000-DS appliance has a single 1Gb Ethernet out-of-band management port, a
serial console port, and a serial (hard wired) failover port which is not utilized or
supported. A USB3.0 port is also made available for recovering/reinstalling system
software. LEDs will change color to indicate di!erent port speeds, and high- level
LEDs provide Status, Alarm, and power supply status. The appliance also has an LCD
panel.

The r4000 appliance has 4 x 10Gb/1Gb copper ports as well as 4 x 25Gb/10Gb/1Gb
ports that support SFP+/SFP28 optics.

(_images/image3a1.png)
The r4000 has a single 1Gb Ethernet out-of-band management port and a serial
console port, and a serial (hard wired) failover port which is not utilized or supported.
A USB3.0 port is also made available for recovering / reinstalling system software.
LEDs will change color to indicate di!erent port speeds, and high-level LEDs provide
Status, Alarm, and Power Supply Status. The appliance also has an LCD panel.

r2000 Series - r2600 / r2800¶

The r2000 (rSeries) is a 1RU appliance, that has 2 di!erent licensing options that
unlock more CPU resources. The r2600 is the base system, and PAYG licensing
options exist to upgrade to the r2800 model. At initial ship there is an AC power
version of the appliance and DC power versions will be made available in the future.
The r2000 platform has 8 physical CPU cores and hyperthreading is not used. No
CPUs are dedicated to the F5OS platform layer which is di!erent than the mid-range
and high-end rSeries appliances. Additionally, some CPUs are disabled on the r2600
model to provide di!erent price/performance profiles which can be unlocked through
PAYG licensing. The system also supports 32GB of RAM and has a single 480GB
SSD. There is no option for dual/redundant disk on the r2000, you’ll need to migrate
to the r10000 if dual/redundant disk is a requirement. Below is a picture of the r2000
hardware appliance which can be licensed as an r2600 or r2800. It’s the same
hardware platform for these 2 software licensing options.
