Installation guide

Into a physical port, you must insert a fiber-optic transceiver provided by device. The XFP/SFP+-
compliant fiber-optic modules provide an optical transceiver or physical medium-dependent (PMD)
interface for single or multi-mode fiber that can be used with the LAN physical layer (PHY).
The following 10 Gigabit optics are available from device.

Port regions
Ports on the devices are grouped into regions. For a few features, such as port monitoring and unknown
unicast configurations, you will need to know the region to which a port belongs. However, for most
features, a port’s region does not affect configuration or operation of the feature. If a port’s region does
affect configuration or operation of a feature, it is noted and described in the appropriate feature section
of this guide.
