Dell S5248F-ON SFP28 ports backwards compatibility
I'm excited to upgrade our Force10 s4810 core switches to a less-outdated pair of S5248F-ON.
Since I'm new to this generation of switches and SmartFabric OS10, I wasn't fully clear on the ports' backward compatibility.
Do the SFP28 ports in the S5248F-ON :
- support 10Gb SFP+ modules?
- support 1Gb SFP modules?
- Is it automatic, like in 1000BASE-T and Fast Ethernet? Or you usually need to set the port speed?
- Does it work in port-groups, or per port? (see pg. 362)
And generally speaking, if a 1/10 Gb optical module worked in the s4810, should it work in the S5248F SFP28 ports?

The s5248F supports your requestet 1, 10 and also the 1G BaseT konverter on the SFP28 ports. Whats not support is a 100FX (FastEthernet).
Normaly the auto negotiation works very well.... but it depends on the other side also.
The page 362 describes if you divide the 100 Gig ports into smaller ones and here you need to specify the breakout mode.
I only can tell you the current SKUs. If your existing modules work you need to find out your self.
