8500(AIR-CT8510-K9) WLC connectivity to uplink switch on 1 Gig interfaces

Hello Experts,

I need to introduce a 8510 WLC in my network, however going through the datasheet the WLC has two 10 gig interfaces.

Datasheet excerpt:

Interfaces and Indicators

● 2 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces

● Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) options (only Cisco SFPs supported): SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-LR

● LED indicators: Network Link, Diagnostics

● 1 service port: 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet (RJ-45)

The problem in the uplink Switch ports that are available for me have only 1 gig interfaces on WS-X4748-RJ45-E LAN.

Will it work having connecting the 10 gig interface on WLC with the 1 gig interface on uplink Switch?
Please let me know if there are any work arounds to get it done.

Best Regards,

Adnan
