NETGEAR M4500 - Page 2

We recommend using the following SFP modules or cables:
• For 10G ber connectivity:
- SFP modules: NETGEAR AXM761, AXM762, or AXM764
- Cables: NETGEAR AXC761 (1 m), AXC763 (3 m), AXC765 (5 m),
AXC767 (7 m), AXC7610 (10 m), AXC7615 (15 m), or AXC7620 (20
m)
• For 40G ber connectivity:
- SFP modules: NETGEAR AXLM761 or AXLM762
- Cables: NETGEAR AXLC761 (1m) or AXLC763 (3m)
• For 100G ber connectivity:
- SFP modules: NETGEAR ACM761 or ACM762
- Cables: NETGEAR ACC761 (1m) or ACC763 (3m)
NOTE: The QSFP28 ports on models M4500-48XF8C and M4500-32C are
precongured for 100G speed. If you want to use a 40G SFP module in a QSFP28
port, you rst must congure the port for 40G speed. The SFP28 ports on model
M4500-48XF8C are precongured for 10G speed.
NOTE: If purchased, SFP modules and cables are shipped separately. For more
information about installing an SFP module, see the hardware installation guide.
After you congure or nd the IP address of the switch, you can congure the
features of the switch through the CLI.
Step 2: Log in and congure the switch
You can log in and congure the switch through the out-of-band (OOB) port
(which is also referred to as the service port), through any Ethernet network port,
or through a console port. By default, the switch functions as a DHCP client.
To log in and congure the switch, use one of the following methods:
• Audio-video user interface: Use the audio-video user interface,
abbreviated as AV UI, through the OOB port or any Ethernet network port
(see Access the AV UI to congure the switch).
