Hi everyone,

 

this might be my second post over cisco support forums. recently we have been finding 10g enabled switches for our network. finally our search landed on cisco 350XG-2F10 switch. actually we needed both rj45 copper based 10g ports and SFP+ based 10g ports and we got these in this switch. however, i have few questions which the data sheets are unable to answer. i hope you guys would help me find those. 

 

1. can we use 10x 10GBase-T ports in this switch over 1g speeds by connecting 1g devices to the switch? 

2. can we use 2x SFP+ uplinks to connect network devices using either 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LRR, SFP-H10GB-CU3M or these ports are for stacking purpose only? 
3. can we stack these switches via 10GBase-T ports using cat6a/cat7 cables? 
4. the quick start guide says "we cannot stack these switches in Mesh topology", does this mean that we cannot directly connect stacked switches via normal network port if they are already stacked?

This is from the quick start guide:    (in blue are my comments)

 

SFP+ Port (if present)—

The small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) are connection points for modules so that the switch can link to other switches. These ports are also commonly referred to as mini 10GigaBit Interface
Converter ports. The term SFP+ will be used in this guide.


• The SFP+ ports are compatible with Cisco modules MGBSX1, MGBLH1,
MGBT1, MGBLX1, MGBBX1, as well as other brands of modules.  (these are 1G modules)


• The Cisco SFP+ 10G optical modules that are supported in the Cisco
switches are: SFP-10G-SR, and SFP-10G-LR.       (these are 10G fiber modules)


• The Cisco SFP+ Copper Cable modules for stacking that are supported
in the Cisco switches are: SFP-H10GB-CU1M, SFP-H10GB-CU3M, and
SFP-H10GB-CU5M.                 (These are 10G twin-coax cables w/sfp)


• The SFP+ port is a combination port, shared with one other RJ-45 port.
When the SFP+ is active, the adjacent RJ-45 port is disabled.
• The LEDs of the corresponding RJ-45 port flash green to respond to the
SFP interface traffic.
