Add support for SFP and QSFP ports #25

Open Paebbels opened 5 years ago

Paebbels commented 5 years ago

Switches have more difference sockets like:

SFP+ (1G, 10G)
QSFP+ / QSFP28+ (40G, 100G)
LC connector (optical)

While 1G Ethernet might be wide spread, 10G Ethernet is moving into server rooms to connect NAS / SAN units to servers. It's also used to distribute 10G Ethernet to the next switches.

I think an option should be added to display possible link speeds like:

1G
2G / 5G (non IEEE Std. 802.3 conform)
10G
40G
100G

I found gbic as an alternative to SFP+, but it doesn't solve all the mentioned ideas from above.

P.S. while gbic is liste in the documentation, it is not rendered:

The provided code below the image does not match.

The documentation is fixed.

The next release will implement LED on RJ45.

You will be able to easily define the link speed , for example: switchpanel_13

the rest is not planned
