SFP+ supported speeds Fortigate

Dear All,

 

Is Fortinet supporting 2,5Gbps speeds on their SFP+ ports? Or only 1Gbps and 10Gbps.

I'm aware of the SFP supported document, but that is more like a joke.

 

Anybody who has them in use?

It's largely up to the transceiver as to what speeds are supported. I assume you are asking about a copper transceiver, as that's the only place I've seen 2.5Gbps.

 

For me I am unaware of any SFP+ transceivers that support 2.5Gbps. However if you look at the data sheet you can see the supports the 10GBASE-T standard. This is a different standard than 2.5GBASE-T. So I will say almost certainly this will not work.
