Hi
I wonder if 25GbE SFP28 ports can operate on 10Gb ?
we have X65404 model transceivers
are there any limitations ?
Thanks
Solved! See The Solution
Unfortunately not - optical ethernet transceivers are always single rate. Please contact your account team to obtain pricing for appropriate transceivers.

Do these ports support RS-FEC ?
Typically, the 25GbE ports on the platform support RS-FEC - usually autonegotiated. You'd have to provide specific platform and NIC/card details to get a 100% answer.
Yes most 25GbE SFP28 ports and transceivers including the X65404 model support backward compatibility with 10GbE. However this depends on the switch or NIC firmware and configuration. Check the device documentation to confirm compatibility and required settings.
The NetApp official support statement is that X65404 transceiver is for 25GbE, only.
