Hi Dmitry, Steinar,

Thanks for your responses. This gives me confidence that we don't need to stock dual-rate SFP28 10G/25G optics, and our operations staff don't need to account for a new type of optic.

Thanks also for mentioning the resources explaining the port groups. Found those a few months back when researching the card for suitability in the network. That Youtube video was particularly helpful. We plan to configure some 10x10G groups, hence the question.

Hi,

Not all ports/port groups combinations are possible.
See table 13.

SFP+ in SFP28 port works well if configured according to the table above.

Hi.

The card is only 400G so you decide how to configure each group, either as 1x100G, 4x25G, 10x10G, 10x1G or 5x1G_5x10GE for instance. To run the SFP28
ports at 10G to utilize SFP+ in those ports you have to set the entire
port-group to 10x10G, you can't mix and match them as 10G/25G.

it is well explained in this video from the Cisco ASR 9000 Channel on
Youtube

Hope this helps.

I'm about to install some of the new 400G Gen 5 line cards, model number A9K-4HG-FLEX-TR. These are being deployed along with new chassis and RSP5's.

Does anyone have direct experience using SFP+ modules in the SFP28 ports on
this particular line card? Does it work without issues?

Thanks,

-Brian
