Citrix ADC MPX 5550 User Manual

Citrix ADC MPX
• MPX/SDX 14xxx-40S
• MPX/SDX 25xxx-40G
Workaround: Use a 10G/1G dual speed transceiver to obtain 1G speeds.
For more information about supported transceivers per port, see 25G, 40G, 50G, and 100G ports.
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 an 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?
QSFP28 is a hot-pluggable transceiver module designed for 100G data rate. QSFP28 integrates 4
transmit and 4 receiver channels. “28” means thateach lane carries up to 28G data rate. QSFP28
can do 4x25G breakout connection, 2x50G breakout, or 1x100G depending on the transceiver
used.
Power supplies
• Is the power supply on the Citrix ADC MPX 5500 and MPX 5550/5650 appliances field replace-
able?
No. The power supply on the Citrix ADC MPX 5500 and MPX 5550/5650 appliances is fixed.
• Do the MPX 8005, 8015, 8200, 8400, 8600, 8800 and T1010 appliances ship with two power sup-
plies?
No. The MPX 8005, 8015, 8200, 8400, 8600, 8800 and T1010 appliances support dual power
supplies but ship with one power supply. Contact your Citrix sales representative to order a
