40GBASE-QSFP+ ports
When a port is channelized, only break out cables (copper or active optical DAC) should be used in
it. Using other cables in a channelized port will result in mismatched link status between link
partners, which may lead to network issues. You should also avoid the use of break out cables in
non-channelized ports, as doing so will result in mismatched link status between link partners, which
can lead to network issues.
MACsec operational notes
MACsec support varies based on the capabilities of the hardware, as noted below:
• For the VSP 7200 Series, MACsec is supported on the 10G SFP+ ports of the VSP 7254XTQ
model only. VSP 7254XSQ does not support MACsec.
