Media Type for 10G in a Nexus 5k

[Josh Bugbee]

Good day,

This is my first question I've asked on the community boards, so please be easy on me.  I've just started to get into the data center environments within a company I started at about 4 months ago.  I am doing some topology research and going through the ports on our Nexus 5020 and came across the following when showing the interface details:

full-duplex, 10 Gb/s, media type is 1/10g

I'm curious what the 1/10g means exactly?  Is it saying this SFP is capable of doing 1g or 10g?

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for joining us.  It is always good to have new people along.  :-)

I think it means the port is capable of having either a 1Gb/s SFP or a 10Gb/s SFP+.  It shows you currently have a 10Gb/s SFP+ in the port.
