5720-VIM-6YE Versatile Interface Module

The 5720-VIM-6YE versatile interface module provides six 10/25GbE SFP28, MACsec capable ports. The six ports are divided into two groups which must be configured at the same speed. Ports 1, 2, and 3 are the first group and must be configured together at the same speed, such as 10 GbE. Ports 4, 5, and 6 are the second and must be configured together at the same speed, such as 25 GbE. Or Group 1 can be configured at 25 GbE and Group 2 can be configured at 10 GbE. See 5720-VIM-6YE Versatile Interface Module for reference.

For information about the supported optical modules, refer to the most recent version of the Extreme Optics website.

Table 1. Port Numbers for Ports on the 5720-VIM-6YE Module
Switch Engine		Fabric Engine (all models)
24MW and 24MXW models	27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32	VIM slot number=2 Interface names=2/1-2/6
48MW and 48MXW models	51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56	VIM slot number=2 Interface names=2/1-2/6

An LRM/MACsec adapter can be used with the 5720-VIM-6YE versatile interface module, but is only used for its LRM capability. MACsec is supported natively on the ports the LRM/MACsec adapter is connected to on the versatile interface module. The following table details the maximum number of LRM/MACsec adapters you can use. 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.


Switch Model	Mode: LRM only		Mode: LRM and MACsec
Switch Model	Two ports no aux. power	Two ports 0.5A aux. power	Two ports aux. power¹	One port one bypass aux. power¹
5720-VIM-6YE	2	3	N/A	N/A

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