About 100GbE interfaces
On platforms that include 100GbE interface ports, you can
use only F5-branded 100GbE QSFP28 transceiver modules in those ports.
When a 100GbE interface operates at either 40GbE and 100GbE
speeds, it is considered to be
bundled
.On
the i10010 platform, the 100GbE ports
(1.0-4.0)
i15000 Series platforms, the 100GbE ports (9.0-12.0)
default to 100GbE. The cable that you use when operating at 100GbE with
100GBASE-SR4 transceiver modules is an industry-standard OM4 qualified
multi-mode fiber optic cable with female MPO/MTP connectors at both ends. The
cable that you use with 100GBASE-LR4 transceiver modules is an
industry-standard SMF fiber optic cable with LC duplex connectors and a reach
of up to 10km. You must provide your own cable and F5-branded QSFP28
transceiver modules for 100GbE operation.If you are using a breakout cable for 10GbE
connectivity, you should use the supported distance as detailed in the
Specifications for fiber QSFP+ modules
section and not the Specifications for fiber SFP+
modules
section of the F5 Platforms:
