Citrix ADC MPX Series User Manual

Citrix ADC MPX
• Can I mix DAC and fiber transceivers on the same appliance?
Yes. You can mix DAC and fiber transceivers on the same appliance. Each 10G port supports both
options.
• Can I mix SFP+ fiber and DAC in ports that are part of the same link aggregation channel (LAC)?
No. There must be symmetry between all elements in the same LAC.
• Which transceivers use the MPO type connector?
Only 40G QSFP+ SR4 transceiver and 100G QSFP28 SR4 transceivers use the MPO type connec-
tor. All other fiber transceivers use the LC type connector.
• Are special adapters required for 25G, 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. 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.
