Cisco Catalyst 6816-X-LE Operating and safety instructions

Product Overview
The Catalyst 6840-X switch family consists of four fixed-aggregation switches supporting redundant power
supplies. The chassis has 16/24/32/40 fixed 10-Gigabit SFP+, 1-Gigabit SFP, or 100BASE-FX SFP ports
and also 40-Gigabit uplink ports on selected switch models.

SFP and SFP+ Transceiver Module Ports
The chassis contains 16/24/32/40 ports of 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ or 100BASE-FX fiber-optic transceiver
modules. All ports support 1-Gigabit SFP, 10-Gigabit SFP+, or 100BASE-FX fiber-optic SFP modules with
two 40-Gigabit uplink ports on selected switch models.
The ports also support Cisco Trust Security (CTS) and virtual switch link (VSL) and can operate as an Instant
Access (IA) Parent in both 1-Gigabit, 10-Gigabit modes and 40-Gigabit modes.
The SFP and SFP+ transceiver modules provide copper or fiber-optic connections to other devices. These
transceiver modules are field-replaceable and provide the uplink interfaces when installed in an SFP module
slot. The SFP transceiver modules have LC connectors for fiber-optic connections or RJ-45 connectors for
copper connections.
For a list of supported SFP and SFP+ modules, see the switch data sheet: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/
products/collateral/switches/catalyst-6800-series-switches/datasheet-c78-734470.html.
The odd-numbered ports are on the upper row and the even-numbered ports on the lower row. The following
figures show how the ports and the LEDs are numbered on different switch models. This section also explains
the port mapping between 10-Gigabit and 40-Gigabit ports.

5To configure 10G ports to function as 40G ports, you need to use adapter cables that connect four 10G SFP+ ports of the switch on one end to a 40G QSFP
port of the switch on the other end.
