Transceivers
• Are transceivers shipped with the appliance?
No. Transceivers are available for purchase separately. Contact your Citrix sales representative
to buy transceivers for your appliance.
• Why does the 10G SFP+ transceiver autonegotiate to 1G speed?
Autonegotiation is enabled by default on the 10G SFP+ ports into which you insert your 10G SFP+
transceiver. When a link is established between the port and the network, the speed is autone-
gotiated. For example, if you connect the port to a 1G network, the speed is autonegotiated to
1G.
• Can I insert a 1G transceiver into a 10G slot?
– Only MPX 14000 and MPX 25000 appliances support copper transceivers.
– The 10G slot supports copper 1G transceivers, which can operate at up to 1 Gbps in a 10
Gbps slot.
Note: 10G transceivers are not supported in 1G slots.
