Port Description

10GE SFP+ optical port

A 10GE SFP+ Ethernet optical port supports auto-sensing to 1000 Mbit/s. It sends and receives service data at 1000 Mbit/s or 10 Gbit/s. Table 4-228 describes the attributes of a 10GE SFP+ Ethernet optical port.

Table 4-228 Attributes of a 10GE SFP+ port

40GE QSFP+ optical port

A 40GE QSFP+ optical port sends and receives service traffic at 40 Gbit/s. Table 4-229 describes the attributes of a QSFP+ optical port.

Table 4-229 Attributes of a QSFP+ optical port

Console port

The console port is connected to a console for on-site configuration. The port must use a console cable. The console port is used when a switch is powered on for the first time. For details about the attributes of a console port, see Table 4-230.

Table 4-230 Attributes of a console port

ETH management port

You can connect a switch to a configuration terminal or network management workstation through the ETH management port to configure the switch locally or remotely. The port must use an Ethernet cable. You can choose to download the software package through the ETH management port in the BootLoad menu. File transfer through the ETH management port is faster than transfer through the console port. Table 4-231 describes the attributes of an ETH management port.

Table 4-231 Attributes of an ETH management port

USB port

The USB port can have a USB flash drive connected to upgrade the switch, or transfer configuration files or other files. The USB port can only connect to a USB flash drive that complies with USB 2.0.

USB flash drives from different vendors differ in model compatibility and drivers. If a USB flash drive cannot be used, try to replace it with another one from a mainstream vendor. Switches support a maximum of 128 GB USB flash drives.

Power Supply Configuration

The switch can use a single power module or double power modules for 1+1 power redundancy. Pluggable AC and DC power modules can be used together in the same switch.

Heat Dissipation

The S6730-S24X6Q uses pluggable fan modules for forced air cooling. Air flows in from the front side and exhausts from the rear panel.

This figure only shows the airflow direction and does not depict the actual device.
