2 port 100G QSFP28 Ethernet Switch Module
EC8404009-E6GS
Compatible transceivers
Important:
Extreme Networks recommends using the 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 8000 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
transceivers (SFP, SFP+ or QSFP+). 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

Components on VSP Operating System Software

VSP 8000 Series operational notes
The VSP 8000 Series supports channelization of a 40 Gbps port into four 10 Gbps channelized
interfaces for the following ports:
• The VSP 8200 supports channelization on all four 40 Gbps ports.
• The VSP 8400 supports channelization on the following ESM ports:
- The two 40 Gbps ports of the 8418XSQ.
- The two 40 Gbps ports of the 8418XTQ.
- The first six 40 Gbps ports of the 8408QQ.
Note:
• Channelized port operation is not affected when the same ESM type is hot swapped when
one or more 40 Gbps ports on that ESM are channelized. Swapping a different ESM
results in the configuration for that slot being lost, so any channelized ports need to be re-
configured.
• 8402CQ 100 Gbps ESM does not support channelization.
