Extreme Networks switches support the use of 4 x 10 Gb QSFP+ pluggable optical modules. These modules provide four 10-gigabit transmit and receive channels in a single module, for an aggregate bandwidth of 40 Gbps. QSFP+ modules are used in ExtremeSwitching, Summit, and BlackDiamond switches.
You can insert or remove QSFP+ modules without powering down the system.
The information in this guide about hardware platform support for QSFP+ modules is current as of the date this guide was published. Support for QSFP+ modules might have been added to other switches or I/O modules besides those listed in this guide.
For current information about hardware support and the minimum required software for QSFP+ modules, refer to the most recent version of the Extreme Optics website.
