•
6 × SFP+ ports on the front panel
•
The following ports provided on the
expansion modules:
5G/2.5G/1000BASE-T
autosensing Ethernet ports
10G/5G/2.5G/1000BASE-T
autosensing Ethernet ports
SFP+ ports
SFP28 ports
QSFP+ ports
•
Physical ports on interface
modules and the front panel can be
bound to the same IRF port.
•
All physical ports to be bound to an
IRF port must have the same data
rate.
•
A QSFP+ port that is split into four
virtual SFP+ ports cannot be used
as a physical IRF port.
