The following diagrams illustrate the components on the front panels of the 5720 Series switches.
Note
In addition to the regular fixed ports, all 5720 Series switches have two QSFP28/QSFP+ Universal Ethernet ports and a Versatile Interface Module (VIM) slot. If you install a VIM, the switch reserves the Universal Ethernet ports for advanced features. If you do not install a VIM, the switch reserves two internal VIM ports for advanced features and you can use the Universal Ethernet ports as regular ports. If you do not require advanced features, you can use the Universal Ethernet ports as regular ports. For more information about using the advanced-feature-bandwidth-reservation boot flag to configure the functionality of these ports, see Advanced Feature Bandwidth Reservation.
When used as regular ports, the port speed is 40 Gbps as a single channel port. Although the maximum supported single channel port speed is 40 Gbps, the ports can be channelized to operate as four 10 or 25 Gbps channels.
