Maximum Capacity for Using the LRM/MACsec Adapter with Supported Switch Models

The following table details the maximum number of LRM/MACsec Adapters you can use with each supported host switch model. The maximum number varies according to:
  • Whether you are running in LRM mode only, or in LRM plus MACsec mode.

  • Whether you are using an auxiliary power (USB) cable to draw additional power beyond what is provided by the host switch.

Note

Note

  • The figures listed assume that, in every case, both adapter ports are connected to the host switch. The adapter will not operate properly if only one port is connected to the host switch.

  • Unless noted otherwise, all switch models listed have SFP+ ports that can be configured for 10Gb. For some X440-G2 models, a license upgrade is required for 10 Gb functionality.

  • For X460-G2 switches, connecting the LRM/MACsec Adapter to SFP+ ports on the VIM-2x module is not supported.

Notes:
  1. With 1W optics modules (SR, LR, LRM, 10 km bidirectional, AOC, DAC, and most 1 Gb optics), use 0.5A auxiliary power sources.

    With 1.5W optics modules (ZR, ER, 40 km bidirectional, DWDM ZR, 1 Gb - 120km bidirectional), use 1.0A auxiliary power sources. Refer also to temperature limitations in Limitations for Some Optical Devices.

  2. This model requires a license upgrade for 10 Gb functionality on the SFP+ ports.
