Hi Jrivano,

I do not see a challenge here, we are using 1G SFP's in SFP+ slots for few of our customers.

Yes that is possible.  I try to avoid doing that when I can just use one of the built-in copper ports but I've done it for sure at sites where I don't have many spare ports.

Adam thanks for your response

In my case i need connected with a router of other service provider a WAN Level, i understand what i can only use the WAN ports and the lan ports and the lan ports do not apply.

You'll see on the MX250 product page (at the bottom) it lists compatible SFP's.

Hey all,

You can find complete SFP compatibility on this page:

On the right hand we have marked the models compatible with each SFP type.

Hope this helps.

i think the point has been missed here, what is being asked is can you use the SFP-1GB-SX in the 10G wan ports, or do you have to use a SFP-10G-SR in those 2 ports? yes the MX250 can take SFP-1GB-SX but can they be used in tho 10G WAN interface on the MX250 rather than the normal ports

yes you can
