X460-G2 VIM-2q : Can this be used with fan-out cables to give 8x10G

[Paul_Thornton]

Hi folks,

Quick question...

Is it possible to use the QSFP VIM-2q ports as 4x 10G ports (as is possible, for example, with the X670's 40G ports) in an X460-G2?

The reason I'm asking is that the X460-G2 datasheet says that the maximum number of 10G ports available on an X460-G2 is 6 (for a -24x switch), but am hoping that I can get an extra 8 using a VIM-2q.

Thanks

Paul.

Depending on application, the new X620 may also be useful for them.

No. I was told that was not supported.

Hi Paul,

Unfortunately, this is not possible on the X460-G2. Due to the hardware design, the switch is only able to recognize two ports on the VIM, regardless of port speed.
