Validated SFPs for CSG5000 Series Appliances
This article lists the small form-factor pluggable (SFP/SFP+) optics supported on the Cloud Services Gateway (CSG) 5000 series appliance fiber interfaces, and it describes the remote switches that have been tested with the SFPs.
Supported VNI and Ethernet Ports
You can install SFP, SFP+ ,SFP28, and QSFP28 transceivers in the following ports:
- Virtual network interface (VNI) ports vni-0/0 through vni-0/3
- Ethernet ports enet-0/4 through enet-0/36
The VNI and Ethernet ports on the CSG5200 and CSG5250 appliances use different Ethernet controllers and support different SFPs.
The following table describes the VNI ports, controllers, and supported transceivers on the CSG5000 series appliances.

Compatible Remote Switches
The following switches have been tested with a 1-Gigabit Ethernet link connection to the CSG5000 series appliances:
- Cisco Nexus-3048T
- Dell S3048 and S4128F switches
- Juniper EX2200
Connection Recommendations
The following are recommendations for connecting the CSG5000 series appliance at 10/25/100-Gigabit Ethernet speeds:
- After you insert an SFP or change the SFP speed, you must disable and then re-enable the VNI interface on the CSG5000 series appliance.
- If the configuration on the remote device changes, you must disable and then reenable the VNI interface on the CSG5000 series appliance.
- Ensure that you have enabled the 1-Gigabit Ethernet interface in the Versa Operating SystemTM (VOSTM) software.
- For 1-Gigabit Ethernet SFPs, you must turn off autonegotiation on the remote device, and then you must set the connection speed to 1-Gigabit Ethernet. For example, for Cisco switches, in the interface configuration, configure the speed to 1000:
interface Ethernet 1/25 speed 1000
For Juniper switches, configure no-autonegotiation on the interface:
enable;
ether-options {
no-auto-negotiation;
link-mode full-duplex;
speed {
1g;
}
}
Note: Before you order units in bulk, validate connections with the target remote device in a lab or testing environment to ensure that there are no compatibility or link issues.
