Hi, can anyone let me know what is required to upgrade a BD 8810 (purchased 4+ years ago) to run ports at 10Gbps? Which hardware parts/firmware requirements? Regards, mark

What I mean by legacy MSMs, is that both the MSM-G8X and MSM-48 will go Out of Support in a year from now on. These MSMs are only capable of running ExtremeXOS 12.5 or less. That version is already Out of Support.

Hey Mark

The MSM 48 has the same performance as the MSM-48C and can be used with a 10G module. There is information on SW and HW matrix on e-support that will list the minimum SW versions needed. The older 10G modules go back to 12.1 code and the newer 8900 modules go back to 12.4

To Ron's point above if you use a 8900 module you will not get all of the bandwidth as you would if you had a MSM128.

If you use the 4 port 10G module you should be ok as long as the modules are supported in the SW.

Hope that helps
