Dear,

Does anyone can help me answer the question relate to the supervisor linecard.

 

NAME: "Switch System", DESCR: "Cisco Systems, Inc. WS-C4503-E 3 slot switch "
PID: WS-C4503-E , VID: V03

NAME: "Supervisor(slot 1)", DESCR: "Sup 8-E 10GE (SFP+), 1000BaseX (SFP) with 8 SFP+ Ports"
PID: WS-X45-SUP8-E , VID: V06 

NAME: "Linecard(slot 2)", DESCR: "1000BaseX (SFP) with 48 SFP Ports Jumbo Frame Support"
PID: WS-X4748-SFP-E , VID: V01 

My question is: 1000BaseX (SFP) with 8 SFP+ Ports (On WS-X45-SUP8-E)  can be use (same) as 48 SFP port (On WS-X4748-SFP-E) or not ?

I already asking the cisco engineer, he say YES, but i am confusing that if i using this 8 port as normal SFP port, is there any impact to supervisor ( management ) functions ? and should i using it, currently i can't extend this devices capacity

Thanks you for any advices

Yes, these ports can be used for anything you want, and no impact on the sup. You can use them as 1Gig or10Gig pending on the optic you use.
