Network Interface Specifications

This describes the supported network interface configurations for NT200A02 SmartNICs operating in 8 × 10 Gbit/s or 4 × 25/10 Gbit/s mode.

Supported configurations

This table shows network interface specifications of the NT200A02 SmartNIC running at 8 × 10 Gbit/s or 4 × 25/10 Gbit/s.

Table 1. Supported network interface configurations
Port speed	Network interface
8 × 10 Gbit/s	2 × 40 Gbit/s QSFP+ 40GBASE-PSM4 breakout to 8 × 10 Gbit/s SFP+ 10GBASE-LR
	2 × 40 Gbit/s QSFP+ 40GBASE-SR4 breakout to 8 × 10 Gbit/s SFP+ 10GBASE-SR
	2 × 40 Gbit/s QSFP+ 40GBASE-CR4 breakout to 8 × 10 Gbit/s SFP+ 10GBASE-CR
4 × 10 Gbit/s	1 × 40 Gbit/s QSFP+ 40GBASE-PSM4 breakout to 4 × 10 Gbit/s SFP+ 10GBASE-LR
	1 × 40 Gbit/s QSFP+ 40GBASE-SR4 breakout to 4 × 10 Gbit/s SFP+ 10GBASE-SR
	1 × 40 Gbit/s QSFP+ 40GBASE-CR4 breakout to 4 × 10 Gbit/s SFP+ 10GBASE-CR
4 × 25 Gbit/s	1 × 100 Gbit/s QSFP28 100GBASE-PSM4 breakout to 4 × 25 Gbit/s SFP28 25GBASE-LR
	1 × 100 Gbit/s QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 breakout to 4 × 25 Gbit/s SFP28 25GBASE-SR
	1 × 100 Gbit/s QSFP28 100GBASE-CR4 breakout to 4 × 25 Gbit/s SFP28 25GBASE-CR

Note: QSFP28 100GBASE-LR4 pluggable modules cannot be used, as they interface to a single-mode fiber where the two 25 Gbit/s lanes are multiplexed and therefore do not allow mechanical breakout.

Note: QSFP+ 40GBASE-LR4 pluggable modules cannot be used, as they interface to a single-mode fiber where the four 10 Gbit/s lanes are multiplexed and therefore do not allow mechanical breakout.
