Connecting Netapp FAS2720 with Cisco CATALYST WS-C3650-24TS Denali

[lusotik]

Hi folks, i have a question for the community

I wanted to plug a Netapp FAS2720  SAN/NAS with some Cisco CATALYST WS-C3650-24TS Denali.

That I see from the Netapp FAS2720 documentation, the connection is SFP+ 10G (10 GbE).

Unfortunatly, I saw from CISCO CATALYST WS-C3650-24TS Denali documentation that we have 4 x Gigabit Ethernet  SFP only.

I wonder if I can anyway plug the 2 devices even we work only with1 GB max network from our infrastructure or must buy a special SFP+ connector for the WS-C3650-24TS?

Many Thanks.

Looking at Netapp documentation, it appears that the network interfaces on FAS-2720 support 1 and 10 gig. If this is the case, you simply need regular 1Gig SFPs for the switch as well as for the Netapp.
