FAQs

Q: Are the QSFP28 ports fixed to 100G only?
A: QSFP28 ports support 100G and commonly 40G breakout/compatibility per transceiver; check your chosen optics for supported modes.

Q: Do I need a specific license for SD-WAN?
A: Yes. A Cisco DNA subscription (e.g., Advantage) is required to enable SD-WAN features.

Q: Is MACsec available on both SFP+ and QSFP28 ports?
A: MACsec support is available; specific port support depends on optics and configuration.

Q: Can this platform run traditional IOS XE routing without SD-WAN?
A: Yes. It can operate in autonomous IOS XE routing mode or in SD-WAN mode.

Q: What optics are supported on QSFP28?
A: A wide range including SR4/LR4/DR/FR and DAC/AOC, subject to platform software and optic compatibility.
