Cisco-Intel 25gbit Interoperability

[faq_ini]

Hello All,

does any one has experience with Intel XXV710-D2 Card and Cisco Nexus 93180YC-EX?

We would like to buy new servers and get 25gbit connectivity using Cisco SFP-25G-AOC5M cables.

If Intel could certify 25gbit speed with this setup, or someone else had direct experiences with those cables and this setup, I gently ask to share your experiences.

Thanks a lot for any help or suggestion.

Regards

Hello faq_ini,

By the way before closing this thread, let me also add that if you are planning to use a non-validated cables, it would be your own validation to test. We also suggest to contact your point of purchase first and if they are willing to lend one cable for your testing and validation.

If you need further assistance, please post a new question.
