In the VSP7200/7400 series switches, when 10GBASE-T Copper Transceiver is populated at one port, does the adjacent port get disabled?

As in EXOS switches, when 10GBASE-T Copper Transceiver is populated to a port, the very next port (adjacent port) gets disabled.

Likewise, Whenever VSP7200/7400 switches (SFP+ compatible models in particular) are populated with 10GBASE-T Copper Transceivers, do the adjacent ports get disabled?

For example: In a VSP7200 - 48 SFP+ ports, can we populate 20 x 10GBASE-T Copper Transceivers and 20 x 10G SFP+ MMF Transceivers at the same time?

Clear! Thanks alot!

Viththahan,

The VSP will not disable adjacent port BUT YOU SHOULD NOT USE THEM!!!

The main reason is the energy consumption of those SFP+-UTP.

They need to dissipate too much heat to be able to use the adjacent ports.

You can use 1-4-5 for example but not the port at the left-right-above-below.
