Before you begin
Install a transceiver on the Data ports 3 and 4 of the controller.
About this task
Note
Data ports 3 and 4 provide QSFP28 ports that can support 50Gbps or 100Gbps
transceivers and 10 and 25Gbps transceivers with special adapters
Connect
cables to transceiver ports after you connect the transceiver to the controller.

Some fiber-optic cables can be
terminated with two separate connectors, one for each fiber-optic strand. Ensure
that the transmit fiber-optic strand from the controller connects to the receive
port of the other device. Connect the receive fiber-optic strand on the
controller to the transmit port of the other device.
