We have a couple of HP FF5700 32XGT 8XG 2QSFP+ switches that we'd like to connect to HPE 5900 switches. If we'd choose to connect them using HP FlexNetwork X240 10G SFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Cables, can we still use the other SFP+ ports for fiber?
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionYes, you can.
The HPE FlexNetwork X240 10G SFP+ to SFP+ 5m Direct Attach Copper Cable (JG081C) is supported by the HPE FlexFabric 5700-32XGT-8XG-2QSFP+ Switch (JG898A) on its 8 (from port 33 to 40 [*]) SFP+ ports - concurrently with other *supported* SFP+ Transceivers/DACs installed on remaining free SFP+ ports. The HPE FlexNetwork X240 10G SFP+ to SFP+ 5m Direct Attach Copper Cable (JG081C) is also supported on the HPE FlexFabric 5900 Switch Series...so no worries, each SFP+ port owns its identity.
[*] worth to mention that those 8 SFP+ ports, exactly as happens on 32 1/10GbE copper ports, are grouped in groups of ports (that's a useful information if you then plan to bind some SFP+ ports to a logical IRF port, a step for IRF Stack deployment): port 33 to 36 form the first group of four, port from 37 to 40 form the second one. See HPE FlexFabric 5700 Switch Series Installation Guide.

Thanks for your prompt reply, parnassus.
