Installation Instructions

Chapter 1: Preface
Purpose
This document provides installation instructions and technical specifications for the following:
• Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Small Form Factor Pluggable plus (SFP+)
• Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable plus (QSFP+)
• Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable 28 (QSFP28)
VOSS runs on the following product families:
• Extreme Networks Virtual Services Platform 4000 Series
• Extreme Networks Virtual Services Platform 7200 Series
• Extreme Networks Virtual Services Platform 8000 Series (includes VSP 8200 and VSP 8400
Series)
• Extreme Networks Virtual Services Platform 8600
Not all products support all cable lengths, or all SFP, SFP+, QSFP+, or QSFP28 transceivers.
Note:
The VSP 4000 does not support 40 Gbps QSFP+ transceivers because the VSP 4000 devices
do not have any QSFP+ ports. However, the VSP 4000 series supports the four SFP+ 10
Gigabit ends of the Direct Attach Breakout Cable (BOC) assembly.
Training
Ongoing product training is available. For more information or to register, you can access the Web
