VSP 5520 QSFP

Hoping someone can confirm or clarify the uses for the 2 QSFP28 ports on the front of the VSP5520 switches. From what I’m reading, those ports are basically unusable when using VOSS in fabric mode.

With release 8.4.2 we are planning on providing an option where you can either use the VIM ports or the built in ports. If a VIM is inserted, the built in ports won’t be usable.

 to the best of my knowledge, no. 

The asic for the two posts is consumed for SPBm functions.

Yes you were. But if you turning on VOSS mode you are turning on SPBm.  

I only have one customer that uses VSPs as normal switches.   one!!!!!!.    Everyone else turns on Fabric.

Is there the possibility that the ports will be usable with SPBM in the future?
