QSFP+ port

The HPE 5940 32QSFP+, HPE 5940 48XGT 6QSFP+, and HPE 5940 48SFP+ 6QSFP+ switches provide fixed QSFP+ ports. The interface modules available for the HPE 5940 2-slot and HPE 5940 4-slot switches also provide QSFP+ ports. You can install QSFP+ transceiver modules in Table 24, QSFP+ cables in Table 25, and QSFP+ to 4 × SFP+ cables in Table 26 in the QSFP+ ports as needed.

IMPORTANT:

40-GE QSFP+ ports FortyGigE 1/0/1 through FortyGigE 1/0/4 and FortyGigE 1/0/29 through FortyGigE 1/0/32 on an HPE 5940 32QSFP+ switch (JH396A) cannot be split into 10-GE SFP+ ports.
On an HPE 5940 4-slot switch (JH398A), the 40-GE QSFP+ ports on the LSWM124XGT2Q (JH182A), LSWM124XG2Q (JH181A), LSWM124XG2QL (JH180A), and LSWM124XG2QFC (JH184A) interface modules cannot be split into four 10-GE SFP+ ports. The two highest-numbered 40-GE QSFP+ ports (ports 7 and 8) on an LSWM18QC (JH183A) interface module cannot be split into four 10-GE SFP+ ports.

NOTE:

As a best practice, use HPE QSFP+ transceiver modules, QSFP+ cables, or QSFP+ to 4 x SFP+ cables for the QSFP+ ports on the switch. The HPE QSFP+ transceiver modules, QSFP+ cables, and QSFP+ to 4 x SFP+ cables available for the QSFP+ ports are subject to change over time. For the most recent list of QSFP+ transceiver modules, QSFP+ cables, and QSFP+ to 4 x SFP+ cables available for the QSFP+ ports, contact Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support or marketing staff.
You can use a QSFP-40G-SR4-MM850 or QSFP-40G-CSR4-MM850 transceiver module to connect a QSFP+ port to four SFP+ ports. The QSFP+ transceiver module and SFP+ transceiver modules to be connected must be the same in specifications, including central wavelength and fiber type.
40-GE QSFP+ ports FortyGigE 1/0/1 through FortyGigE 1/0/4 and FortyGigE 1/0/29 through FortyGigE 1/0/32 on an HPE FlexFabric 5940 32QSFP+ Switch (JH396A) cannot be split into 10-GE SFP+ ports.
