Supported models and configurations
Table 1 gives specifications of the Cisco SM-X EtherSwitch Service Modules. All Gigabit Ethernet ports support
auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 Mbps. Based on the model up to 8-ports of 2.5G mGig support helps provide
uplink connectivity to Access Points and Uplink Expansions, external Advanced 4G LTE and (future) 5G
connections. Up to two 10G SFP+ based fiber ports provide for Server connectivity or for high speed
aggregated connection to high-speed switches.

Table 2 defines the SFP modules supported on the 1G/ 10G fiber ports. The ports support both single and
multi-mode fiber. Each SFP+ port maybe independently configured with a 1G SFP or a 10G SFP+ interface. The
two fiber ports maybe aggregated to provide a fault-tolerant Layer 2 port channel.
Ports with similar speed support aggregation leading to port channel. Both PAgP and LACP configuration is
supported on the module in addition to automatic port channel support. Up to 4-ports of 1G or 2.5G maybe
aggregated to form a single Etherchannel. Ports with unlike speeds may not be aggregated to form port
channel.
