• Thirty two 1 GbE or 10 GbE internal ports — each port can operate in either 1 GbE or 10 GbE mode.
• Two native 40 GbE fixed ports on the base module for uplink connections. These ports can be used with 4 x 10G
breakout cables to operate as 10 GbE uplink ports. The native 40 GbE ports can be configured as stacking ports.
• 10 GbE or 40 GbE external connectivity by using the following plug-in modules in the two expansion slots:
– Four-port 10 GbE module using SFP+ optics (SR, LR, or LRM) or direct-attach cables (1 m, 3 m, 5 m DAC)
– Four-port 10GBASE-T module using RJ-45 connector (copper) cables
– Two-port 40 GbE QSFP+ module for 10 GbE SFP+ connections
