System compatibility

SL8013-1206-F8 belongs to Extreme S-Series S180 class fabric line card family. Compatible with S4, S6, S8 S-Series modular chassis platform, matching S-series supervisor modules and other S180/S140 I/O cards. Compatible with Extreme certified QSFP+ 40G optical transceivers, DAC and AOC cables. Widely applied in core chassis fabric interconnection and spare replacement for campus and data center core network.

Function

SL8013-1206-F8 is a 6-port 40G QSFP+ fabric line card for Extreme S-Series modular chassis. It provides high-bandwidth 40G fabric interfaces for inter-chassis or spine uplink connection. Each QSFP+ port supports breakout function to four independent 10G ports, flexible for mixed 10G/40G deployment. Hot-swap design allows engineers to replace the module online without cutting power of the whole chassis. It collaborates with chassis supervisor for high-speed fabric forwarding, VLAN segmentation and routing processing. Widely deployed for enterprise campus core and data center modular chassis fabric expansion spare replacement.

Installation

Follow ESD protection procedure. Insert SL8013-1206-F8 module into empty chassis slot and fasten locking screws. Hot swap operation can be performed with chassis powered on. Wait for module initialization. Access chassis CLI to verify module online status, check port LEDs and upgrade firmware if version mismatch. Insert QSFP+ transceivers and fiber cables, configure port breakout, VLAN and routing policy according to site requirements.
