The VIM-2q Ethernet Module option card allows you to add one or two 40 gigabit QSFP+ optical ports to the VIM (Versatile Interface Module) slot on the rear panel of an X460-G2 series switch. The VIM-2q option card supports QSFP+ optical modules.
The ports on the VIM-2q option card can be configured as high speed stacking ports in a SummitStack configuration with a stack link speed of 40G. For more information about stacking ExtremeSwitching switches, see Building Stacks.
Note
40G ports on the VIM-2q cannot be partitioned into four 10G ports.
Caution
VIM modules are not hot swappable. You must power down the switch before installing any VIM modules.Note
Alternate stacking with the VIM-2q is supported with ExtremeXOS version 16.1. However, alternate stacking is not supported with earlier versions of the ExtremeXOS software.
