Nexus 7010 N7K-M132XP-12L Card

Hi

I have a N7K-M132XP-12L card in my chassis. From the notes it states it is a 10G card and only accepts 10G SFPs which is fine. But could I plug in a router link where the other end is 1G. Will this auto-negotiate down to 1G as that is the max the other end is capable of.

Or could I configure the port as an access port and configure a L3 vlan interface for it as a workaround?

Thanks

Thanks Mark

I will also have a F2E in the same VDC. Would it be possible to configure an access port instead and have a L3 vlan interface

Looks like its supports L2 and L3 i dont use these particular modules though but the data sheet says there fully capable for both

One thing i rememebr reading on these if M2 is in place in same VDC that may do the L3 routing
