2.5.4 Port Description
10GE SFP+ Ethernet Optical Port
A 10GE SFP+ Ethernet optical port supports auto-sensing to 1000 Mbit/s. It sends and receives
service data at 1000 Mbit/s or 10 Gbit/s. Table 2-17 describes the attributes of a 10GE SFP+
Ethernet optical port.

40GE QSFP+ Ethernet Optical Port
A 40GE QSFP+ optical port sends and receives service traffic at 40 Gbit/s and can be split into
four 10GE ports. After a split, 40GE QSFP+ optical port needs to be connected to a remote
device using a 1-to-4 QSFP+ fiber (with matching optical modules) or a 1-to-4 QSFP+ copper
cable. Table 2-18 describes the attributes of a 40GE QSFP+ optical port.

Console Port
The console port is connected to a console for on-site configuration. The port must use a console
cable. The console port is used when a switch is powered on for the first time. For details about
the attributes of a console port, see Table 2-19.
