Interface Support for an EX4600 Switch
EX4600 switches supply four quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) ports for
use as uplinks. These 40 GbE ports support QSFP+ transceivers, QSFP+ direct-attach
copper (DAC) cables, and DAC breakout cables (DACBO). Each QSFP+ port on an
EX4600 switch can be configured to operate as 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface by using
a breakout cable or as a single 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface. The ports on an EX4600
switch are disabled by default. You enable a port through the CLI.
The 24 downlink or access ports of the EX4600 switch are 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
Figure 16 on page 46 shows the different ports available on r the EX4600 switch.
