We have FAS2552 which is having 1Gig port physically... now we are planning to upgrade the port from 1 gig to 10 gig...so what are the step that we need to follow? or how can we do it?

Connecting to a 10 gig port is dependent on the current configuration. Check NetApp Hardware Universe and the FAS2500 series documentation.

Which port(s) are used today? e0a and e0b are limited to 1 Gbps. Ports e0c-e0f can be configured to 10 Gbps Ethernet. You'll need a corresponding transceiver for an optical connection, or a DAC (Twinax cable) for a copper connection. This will depend on what your switch(es) support.

Hi,PunitWaghela

The maximum transfer speed for e0a and e0b is 1G. If you want to increase it to 10G, it depends on the current device configuration. Please check the NetApp Hardware Universe.
