Solved: Re: QSFP compatibility - HPE Proliant and Cisco Nexus

config tea · ‎11-22-2023

Hello,

There is probably a simple answer to this but I had to check - If I want fibre connectivity between a Nexus C3132Q-40GX and a HPE Proliant DL380 Gen9 (FDR/Ethernet 2-Port 544+QSFP) then I need a Cisco QSFP on one end and a HPE QSFP on the other?

I'm not sure if the QSFPs are cross-platform compatible as I'm currently trying to use 2x Cisco QSFPs between the devices and the switch port is not coming up.

Thanks for your suggestions.

- The only requirement is that both end use compatible SFPs for their own model , (and that the speed matches) ; for Cisco look at
Cisco Optics-to-Device Compatibility Matrix
