M4250-26G4F-PoE+ showing fiber ports as SFP instead of SFP+
Firmware Version 13.0.4.23 AV UI Version 2.2.7.36 Boot Version 1.0.0.12 Hello, everywhere I check the specs for this switch, it indicates that the 4 fiber ports are 10G SFP+ W...
- Hello, this switch has 4 x 1G SFP ports, please check the datasheet here?

With the latest firmware, only 1G transceivers can be used. Did you use 10G transceivers before? I am afraid it was wrongly showing 10G speed, but actual speeds were 1G only, as the ports are 1G.
You can use the XF models (SKU numbers with a "X" at the end for 10G uplinks (SFP+)
Please let us know!

Wow totally missed that, and thanks for the quick reply!
I assumed that the switches would Auto negotiate 1G... but it appears that my M4250-40G8XF have the port configuration speed set to 10G and can't be changed to Auto or 1G
So does the M4250-40G8XF can only accept 10G, and the M4250-264F can only accept 1G?
thank you,
