Expansion Module Overview

The RUCKUS ICX 7550 switch includes one port-side slot for media expansion modules, including a 4-port SFP+ 10-GbE module, a 4-port SFP+ 25-GBE module, a 2-port QSFP+ 40-GbE module, and a 1-port QSFP28 100-GbE module. If not installed, the empty expansion module slot must be covered using a filler panel.

The following media expansion modules are supported:

  • ICX7600-4X10GF 4-port 40G Module: A 4-port 1/10 GbE SFP+ expansion module. The expansion module supports 1 GbE and 10 GbE optics.
    Note: The 4X10GF module supports MACsec when the appropriate license is purchased. For more information, refer to the RUCKUS FastIron Software Licensing Guide.
  • ICX7600-2X40GQ 2-port 80G Module: A 2-port 40 GbE QSFP+ expansion module. The expansion module supports 40 GbE optics.
  • ICX7600-1X100GQ 1-port 100G Module: A 1-port 100 GbE QSFP28 expansion module. The expansion module supports 100 GbE optics.
  • ICX7550-4X25GF Module: A 4-port 1/10/25 GbE SFP28 expansion module. The expansion module supports 25 GbE optics. The expansion module supports 1 GbE, 10 GbE, and 25 GbE. Fastiron release 09.0.10k, 10.0.10h, and 10.0.20b introduce support for the ICX7550-4X25GF expansion module.
