I was reading the tech specs on the fas2552/4 platforms and there is verbiage indicating that with 8.3.1 and onward, there is support for 1gb sfp modules in the uta2 ports. I have deployed many of these units in the past 18 months and have always forced 10gb switching to support it, even though 4x1g may have been adequate in some circumstances.
My NetApp sales team seems to be unfamiliar with this and is researching. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Are there 1g copper modules or only 1g fiber sfp? Has anyone quoted / sold / deployed these yet? Any caveats?
Thanks

Mike,
Yes, you can use copper or optical (multimode) 1Gb/s on FAS2552 and FAS2554. You would be looking at X6567-R6 (optical) or X6568-R6 (copper). They work on 8.2.4 or higher, or 8.3.1 or higher.
This will tell you the details: https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&id=1015382&locale=e...
Thank you, Tim
