VIM1-10G8X Versatile Interface Module

The VIM1-10G8X versatile interface module provides eight cages for installed SFP or SFP+ optical modules.

In addition, the VIM1-10G8X module is compatible with the SFP+ direct-attach passive copper cable. For information about the supported optical modules, refer to the most recent version of the Extreme Hardware/Software Compatibility and Recommendation Matrices.

The VIM1-10G8X module also provides two high-performance stacking ports that allow you to combine multiple units into a single SummitStack management entity. The stacking ports on the VIM1-10G8X module are not shared with the front panel ports.

Ports 31 and 32 on the VIM1-10G8X module can be configured as alternate stacking ports in a SummitStack configuration that uses the SummitStack-V feature. For more information about stacking ExtremeSwitching switches, see Building Stacks.
