The clearfog supports 1 WAN and 5 switched ports via a specific switching chip (I forget which one), which means it's using 2 Gb ports. https://www.solid-run.com/marvell-armada-family/clearfog/clearfog-specifications/ The Armada 38X processor supports 2 or 3 full gigabit devices (buses?) depending on the version. https://www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/armada-38x/ Please correct me if I'm wrong. :) Russ
