It is important to consider this when migrating an older controller to either the W-7000 Series or W-7200
Series. If you load a configuration from a non-W-7000 Series/W-7200 Series controller, that controller will not
have network connectivity because any interface configuration will not be recognized. For information about
migrating to W-7000 Series and W-7200 Series controllers, see the Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS 6.2
Release Notes.
W-7200 Series Controllers Individual Port Behavior
The first two ports on the W-7200 Series controllers, 0/0/0 and 0/0/1 are dual media ports and can be used for
any purpose. Ports 0/0/2 through 0/0/5 are fiber-based ports that can be used for any purpose. If the fiber-
based ports are connected with RJ45 or Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, these ports can
function as 1 GBps ports. For accessing the controller, port 0/0/0 to 0/0/5 can be used when 0/0/2 through
0/0/5 are connected with RJ45 or SFP transceivers.
The following table describes the connector and speed supported for each physical interfaces of the W-7200
Series controllers.
