Does the X590 support LRM optics?

We recently found the data sheet for the X590 which could be a very attractive solution if it supports LRM optics.

We know not all SFP+ ports include the phy necessary to support LRMs which becomes an issue for customers trying to 10G over old MM fiber.

Thanks,

Thank you Stephane,

I received word from another employee that the 590 did not support LRMs.

Yes that is true, it supports only on 10G ports

Thank you for looking into this.

The 590 supporting LRMs is exciting news but I have concerns because it has been our experience that the 460G2 only supports LRM optics in the rear VIM ports. This seems like an asterisk to me and I hope there is nothing similar about the 590 support.
