Citrix ADC MPX 5550 User Manual

Citrix ADC MPX
1G SFP and 10G SFP+ ports
A 1G SFP port can operate at a speed of 1 Gbps. It accepts either a copper 1G SFP transceiver for oper-
ation as a copper Ethernet port, or a fiber 1G SFP transceiver for operation as a fiber optic port.
The 10G SFP+ modules are dual-speed capable and support both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps, depending on
the peer switch that the model connects to. You need a fiber optic cable to connect to a port. If the
other end of the fiber optic cable is attached to a 1G SFP port, the 10G SFP+ port automatically nego-
tiates to 1G speed.
Ports compatibility:
On some appliances, the 10G slot supports copper 1G transceivers, which can operate at up to 1 Gbps
in a 10 Gbps slot.
Notes:
• Certain platforms have 10G slots that do not support copper transceivers. Check with your ac-
count representative for support details.
• You cannot insert a fiber 1G transceiver into a 10G slot.
• You cannot insert a 10G transceiver into a 1G slot.
25G, 40G, 50G, and 100G ports
A 100G port can support five speeds: 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G, and 100G. 1G speed is not supported on the
100G port. 50G and 100G ports use the same transceiver. 40G QSFP+ are high-speed ports that can
operate at speeds of up to 40 Gbps. The appliance determines the speed, and not the port.
Only 50G/100G (QSFP28) and 40G (QSFP+) transceivers can be directly used on a QSFP28 interface.
Use a QSA28 adapter on a QSFP28 interface to use 10G (SFP+) and 25G (SFP28) transceivers.
The following diagram shows the transceiver compatibility.
