FAQs

Q: What distinguishes the X (QSFP) variant?
A: It uses QSFP28 interfaces for compact, power-efficient 100G connectivity and broad transceiver choice.

Q: How does SE differ from TR?
A: SE prioritizes scale (larger tables and features). TR prioritizes pure throughput performance.

Q: Can I mix different QSFP28 optics across ports?
A: Yes, ports can be populated independently with compatible QSFP28 optics as long as platform and software support the optic type.

Q: Is breakout supported?
A: Breakout capabilities depend on platform software support and transceiver type; verify in your software release notes.

Q: Do I need additional licenses?
A: Some features or port activations may require licenses based on your platform’s licensing model.
