To use an SFP+ interface in 10000 Mbps mode, the third-party switch must be running Pause Frame
Flow Control, as defined in IEEE 802.3x. It is also recommended to configure shapers on the third-
party switch so as to limit the packet flow from the switch to the PTP 850E unit to 2.5 Gbps.
After changing the speed of an SFP+ interface, you must reset the unit in order for the change to take
effect.
