Installing and Removing 1G SFP Transceivers
Note: This section applies to the 9010 FIPS, 12000-10G, MPX 8200/8400/8600/8800,
MPX 9700/10500/12500/15500, MPX 11500/13500/14500/16500/18500/20500, and
MPX 22040/22060/22080/22100/22120 appliances.
A Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) is a compact transceiver that can operate at
speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second and is available in both copper and fiber types.
Inserting a 1G SFP copper transceiver converts the 1G SFP port to a 1000BASE-T port.
Inserting a 1G SFP fiber transceiver converts the 1G SFP port to a 1000BASE-X port.
Auto-negotiation is enabled by default on the 1G SFP port into which you insert your 1G
SFP transceiver. As soon as a link between the port and the network is established, the
speed and mode are matched on both ends of the cable.
Note: The 1G SFP transceiver is hot-swappable from release 9.3 build 42.2 and later
on the NetScaler appliances that use the e1k interface. The following platforms
support 1G SPF transceivers:
wMPX 7500/9500
wMPX 8200/8400/8600/8800
wMPX 9700/10500/12500/15500
wMPX 11500/13500/14500/16500/18500/20500
wMPX 22040/22060/22080/22100/22120
