Note:
The following appliances do not support the 1G fiber transceiver in a 10G port.
• MPX/SDX 89xx
• MPX/SDX 89xxT
• MPX/SDX 15xxx-50G
• MPX/SDX 14xxx-40G
• MPX/SDX 14xxx-40S
• MPX/SDX 25xxx-40G
Workaround: Use a 10G/1G dual speed transceiver to obtain 1G speeds.
Ports
• What is QSFP+?
QSFP+ stands for Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable, which is a small, hot-pluggable transceiver
for connecting data devices. This transceiver is used for 40G interfaces.
QSFP+ to four SFP+ Copper Breakout Cables:
These cables connect to four SFP+ 10GE ports
of a Citrix ADC appliance on one end and to a QSFP+ 40G port of a Cisco switch on the other end.
Support for 40G connectivity:
Citrix ADC models that have at least four 10G SFP+ ports connect
to Cisco 40G interfaces by aggregating four of the 10G SFP+ ports to form a 40G link aggregation
channel. QSFP to Four port SFP+ Copper Breakout Cable
QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M (reports as
L45593-D178-C30)
is used. The reverse is not supported. That is, connectivity from a 40G port
on a Citrix ADC appliance and 4x10G ports on the peer switch is not supported.
• Which Citrix ADC appliances support the
QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M (reports as L45593-D178-C30)
Breakout Cable?
Citrix ADC appliances that have at least four 10G SFP+ ports support the QSFP Breakout Cable.
• What is QSFP28?
