You can install a versatile interface module (VIM) in a dedicated slot in the front panel of the ExtremeSwitching 5520 Series switch to provide 10/25G dedicated high speed ports. The front panel of every 5520 Series switch provides one slot to install the following:
5520-VIM-4X versatile interface module that provides four 10-GbE (SFP+) ports.
5520-VIM-4XE versatile interface module that provides four 10-GbE (SFP+) ports, LRM/MACsec capable.
5520-VIM-4YE versatile interface module that provides four 25-GbE (SFP28) MACsec capable ports.
The 5520-VIM ports are 1-4 on the 5520-VIM faceplate.
In Fabric Engine, the 5520-VIM slot number is 2.
5520-VIMs are ordered separately. Each VIM label can be found on the bottom side of the device, as seen in the following figure:

1 - In Fabric Engine, you must set sys vim-speed to 10G or 25G for 5520-VIM-4YE. The default is 25G. A reboot is not necessary after setting the speed. In Switch Engine, use the configure ports partition command with 4x25 or 4x10 on the first VIM port.
2 - FEC is enabled by default only with autonegotiation set to ON.
