This product also supports optional network connectivity:
Notes:
1
SFP28 ports support 10G SFP+, and 25G SFP28 transceivers.
2
QSFP28 ports support 40G QSFP+ and 100G QSFP28 transceivers.

There are 4 interface-groups on the 8325-48Y8C switches.
Interface-group 1: Ports 1 to 12
Interface-group 2: Ports 13 to 24
Interface-group 3: Ports 25 to 36
Interface-group 4: Ports 37 to 48
Ports in an interface-group can only support either 10G or 25G speeds, depending on your
configuration. Interface-groups must be configured to the user's intended installation. The default
speed for all interface-groups is 25 Gbps.
