Ethernet Ports
The switch contains 12 ports of 40GbE. Each port can be connected with QSFP cables and con-
nectors for 40Gb/s speed, or 10Gb/s speed when connecting through QSA Mellanox adaptors.
All 12 ports can support breakout cables. See “Splitting the Data Stream Using Breakout
(Fanout) Cables” on page 44 for more information.
All Ethernet ports can be manually configured through the CLI management interface.
Each QSFP port is capable of up to 40GbE, upgradable to 56 GbE with a license, as well as
10GbE with a QSA, QSFP to SFP+ adapter or QSFP to SFP+ cables.
40 GbE and 56 GbE are only guaranteed to work with approved cables and modules.
56GbE is operational on Mellanox 56Gb/s VPI cables only.
