About platform interfaces
Every platform includes multiple interfaces. The exact number of interfaces that are on the system
depends on the platform type.
Each interface on the platform has a set of properties that you can configure, such as enabling or
disabling the interface, setting the requested media type and duplex mode, and configuring flow control.
For information about optical transceivers and cable pinouts for this platform, see F5 Platforms:

About 1GbE SFP/10GbE SFP+ interfaces
The i800/i2000/i4000 Series platforms include 1GbE SFP ports (1.0-4.0 and 7.0-10.0) and 10GbE SFP
ports (5.0-6.0, 11.0-12.0), in which you can use 10 GbE (SFP+) or 1GbE (SFP) transceiver modules.
Important: The SFP+ ports on these platforms are not backwards compatible with SFP transceiver
modules.
