VSP 7200 operational notes
• The VSP 7254XSQ has a PHYless design, which is typical for Data Center top of rack
switches. The benefits of a PHYless design are lower power consumption and lower latency.
However, due to the PHYless design, the following transceivers are not supported:
- AA1403017-E6: 1-port 10GBASE-LRM SFP+
- AA1403016-E6: 1-port 10GBase-ZR/ZW SFP+
The AA1403165 10GBASE-ZR CWDM DDI SFP+ transceiver can be substituted for
AA1403016-E6 10GBASE-ZR/ZW SFP+.
• Software partitions the switch into two logical slots: Slot 1 and Slot 2.
- Slot 1: 10 Gbps ports: 1 - 48
- Slot 2: 40 Gbps ports: 1 - 6
• Channelization is supported on the 40 Gbps QSFP+ ports.
• MACsec support:
- MACsec is only supported on the VSP 7254XTQ 10 Gbps ports.
- MACsec is not supported on VSP 7254XSQ 10 Gbps ports.
- MACsec is not supported on VSP 7254XTQ and VSP 7254XSQ 40 Gbps ports whether
channelization is enabled or not.
• Port licensing support:
On the port licensed VSP 7254XSQ fiber switch:
- 24 ports (Slot 1, ports 25 to 48) out of the 48 1/10 GbE SFP/SFP+ ports require a Port
License to be unlocked.
- two ports (Slot 2, ports 5 and 6) out of the six 40 GbE QSFP+ ports require a Port License to
be unlocked.
On the port licensed VSP 7254XTQ copper switch:
- 24 ports (Slot 1, ports 25 to 48) out of the 48 100 Mbps/1 GbE/10 GbE RJ-45 ports require a
Port License to be unlocked.
- two ports (Slot 2, ports 5 and 6) out of the six 40 GbE QSFP+ ports require a Port License to
be unlocked
• 1000BASE-T SFP (AA1419043-E6) will only operate at 1 Gbps speeds when used on a VSP
7254XSQ.
• When you use 1 Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers on VSP 7254XSQ, the software disables
auto-negotiation on the port:
- If you use 1 Gbps fiber SFP transceivers, the remote end must also have auto-negotiation
disabled.
- If you use 1 Gbps copper SFP transceivers, the remote end must have auto-negotiation
enabled. If not, the link will not be established.
