Arista 7050SX3-48YC12 Specifications
This section describes the LEDs for monitoring environmental and switch port status on the Arista 7050SX3-48YC12 switch.
- Interface 1-4
- Interface 5-8
- Interface 9-12
- Interface 13-16
- Interface 17-20
- Interface 21-24
- Interface 25-28
- Interface 29-32
- Interface 33-36
- Interface 37-40
- Interface 41-44
- Interface 45-48
The speed of the first optical cable inserted into a group is automatically detected, which sets the speed for all the interfaces in the group.
For example, if the first group (interface 1-4) is empty and when inserting a 25G cable into Interface 2, interfaces 1 to 4 are all automatically set to 25G, and no other speed is allowed in the group.
If you later insert a 10G cable into any interface in the group, the system does not bring up the 10G interface. You can bring up the 10G interface only if no cable of a different speed is present in any interface in the group.
Only the first interface connected is enabled when cables of different speeds are present in interfaces within a single group. However, when the switch restarts later with the cables inserted, the first interface in the group numerically is enabled. For example, with a 25G cable in Interface 2 and a 10G cable in Interface 1, interface 1 is enabled at 10G when the switch restarts and all the interfaces are at 10.
