Overview of SFP and SFP+ Modules
Extreme Networks switches and routers support small form factor pluggable (SFP) interface modules,
also known as mini-GBICs. Extreme Networks devices support both optical and copper SFP and SFP+
modules. The type of switch, router, or other component determines the compatible type of SFP or SFP
+module.
Use only Extreme Networks-certified SFP and SFP+ modules, available from Extreme Networks, in the
SFP port on the switch or router.
