VSP 7200 Series Description Part numbers
Note:
The universal slide rack mount kit is optional and must be ordered separately. The VSP 7200 Series,
VSP 8200 Series and VSP 8400 Series ship with rack mount brackets. When using rack mount
brackets on the VSP 8200 Series and VSP 8400 Series, you can use a shelf for additional support.
Compatible transceivers
Important:
Extreme Networks recommends using Extreme SFP, SFP+, QSFP+, and QSFP28 transceivers
as they have been through extensive qualification and testing. Extreme Networks will not be
responsible for issues related to third party transceivers.
• The VSP 7200 Series operates in forgiving mode for SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ transceivers,
which means that the switch will bring up the port operationally when using third party SFP,
SFP+, or QSFP+ transceivers. Extreme Networks does not provide support for operational
issues related to these transceivers, but they will operate and the port link will come up.
The switch logs the device as an unsupported or unknown device.
For more information about compatible transceivers, see Extreme Networks Pluggable
Transceivers Installation Guide .
VSP 7200 Series Operational Notes
• The VSP 7254XSQ has a PHYless design, which is typical for Data Center top of rack
switches. The benefits of a PHYless design are lower power consumption and lower latency.
However, due to the PHYless design, the following transceivers that require electronic
dispersion compensation (EDC) for proper operation are not supported:
- AA1403017-E6: 1-port 10GBASE-LRM SFP+
- AA1403016-E6: 1-port 10GBase-ZR/ZW SFP+
The AA1403165 10GBASE-ZR CWDM DDI SFP+ transceiver can be substituted for
AA1403016-E6 10GBASE-ZR/ZW SFP+
• Software partitions the switch into two logical slots: Slot 1 and Slot 2.
- Slot 1: 10 Gbps ports: 1 - 48
- Slot 2: 40 Gbps ports: 1 - 6
• Channelization is supported on the 40 Gbps QSFP+ ports.
• MACsec support:
- MACsec is only supported on the VSP 7254XTQ 10 Gbps ports.
- MACsec is not supported on VSP 7254XSQ 10 Gbps ports
- MACsec is not supported on VSP 7254XTQ and VSP 7254XSQ 40 Gbps ports whether
channelization is enabled or not.
• Port licensing support on the port licensed VSP 7254XSQ fiber switch:
- 24 ports (Slot 1, ports 25 to 48) out of the 48 1/10 GbE SFP/SFP+ ports require a Port
License to be unlocked.
