SG500X 10Gb Copper to Server Hardware

[Gary Roche]

Hi,

We have a site with a number of SG500X switches who are about to have a new server installed.

The server is a Dell ESXi host with a dual port 10Gb NIC supporting SFP+.

I know the primary purpose of the 10Gb ports on the SG500X is for stacking etc. but the switch does come with four 10Gb ports.

Does anyone know of any reason why I wouldn't be able to utilize a 10Gb port as a copper connection to the 10Gb NIC on the server?

Anyone out there with a SG500X connected directly to a server at 10Gb?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated?

Many thanks,

G

Hi Gary, this is fine and no problem. Just ensure the switch is in standalone mode.
