FAQs

Q: What use cases fit this platform?
A: Large campus cores, data center edge, WAN aggregation hubs, and service provider CPE requiring dense 10G with multiple 100G uplinks.

Q: Does it require SD-WAN licensing?
A: Yes. SD-WAN features require an active DNA subscription; traditional routing can run without SD-WAN licensing.

Q: Are breakout cables supported on QSFP28?
A: Common QSFP28 breakout options (e.g., 4x25G or 4x10G via compatible optics) are supported where applicable; confirm with optic-specific datasheets.

Q: Is LTE built in?
A: No. Use external cellular gateways if LTE/5G connectivity is required.

Q: Does it support MACsec on 100G?
A: MACsec is supported; availability depends on interface/optic selection and software configuration.
