SG550 10GBase-T support 2.5GBase-T?

[thomasando]

I feel like this is a really basic question but I just can't find the answer anywhere.

Do the 10GBase-T ports on the SG550 series switches support the lower multigigabit rates, specifically 2.5Gbps? Looking at deploying some Meraki APs with dual uplinks.

Moreover, do the copper combo ports on the SG550X models support 2.5Gbps? Weighing up the option of connecting the APs to those ports.

Cheers!

HI,

Q: Do the 10GBase-T ports on the SG550 series switches support the lower multigigabit rates, specifically 2.5Gbps

Ans: There is no auto-negotiation of 10Gb ports. It will give you an error : ERROR: Configuration does not match the port capability. This is because there is no half duplex in the 10GBase-T.
