I am upgrading our network solely and decided on the 9500 and 9600 to replace our 6509s since they are aging and have limited life left.
For the cores I will use two 9606 with SVL and only install 40/100 interfaces probably.
At some of the smaller sites remote sites (they all have multiple SM fiber paths connecting to the core and adjacent sites) I plan on using possibly the 9500-32C
Here are my questions...
The 9500-32C supports 32 40 or 32 100 Gb interfaces. Can I assume I can intermix the 40 and 100 Gb optics in any port combinations without any kind of limitation?
I plan on using QSA adapters to support older switch stacks are not yet upgraded. Can any port support these without limitations? Meaning could I have one port using a QSA and all other 31 ports running at 100Gb ?? except for the SVL wich I think have a 40Gb limit still.
For the 9606 line card 40/100 is the same allowed or do I have combination limitations. The data sheets don't cover this info.
Thanks.
