Does anyone know if the S4112F switches can operate on 1 Gbit/s?
The spec sheet mentions "The S4100-ON series are high-performance, multi-function,1/10/25/40/50/100 GbE"
However I see only SFP+ modules in the optics list. So can we either use the SFP T or SX optics to connect to 1Gbit/s or should we use the Dell Networking Transceiver, SFP+ 10GBASE-T,30m reach on CAT6a/7 or SFP + 10 GBASE-SX and force the port down to 1 Gbit/s?
We need to connect our firewalls which have only 1Gbit-T or SFP.

Hi,
You should use SFP+ modules and limit the port to Gbe. I don’t see any validated SFP modules.

I think you can use one of the following SFP 1GB
Dell Networking, Transceiver, SFP, 1000BASE-SX, 850nm Wavelength, 550m Reach [Option Id: SFPGBE] [SKU: 407-BBDB]
https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-networking-transceiver-sfp-1000base-sx-connector/apd/407-bbor/networking#tabs_section
Dell Networking, Transceiver, SFP, 1000BASE-LX, 1310nm Wavelength, 10km Reach [Option Id: SFPLX] [SKU: 407-BBDC]
The first one is the most common
also I think you can attach 10 GBE in the S4112 and limit it to 1 GB it will auto negotiate with the firewall.
please let us know which one works
