For 10-Gigabit support, use a QSFP-to-SFP adapter (such as CVR-QSFP-SFP10G) with a SFP+ or SFP
transceiver.
The following table lists the number of ports that you can connect on each ACI-mode line card installed in a
modular spine switch (Cisco Nexus 9504, 9508, or 9516 switch) or on each Cisco Nexus 9336PQ or 9364C
spine switch. The number of line cards in a spine switch depends on the model of the spine switch (the Cisco
Nexus 9504 supports four line cards, the Cisco Nexus 9508 supports up to eight line cards, and the Cisco
Nexus 9516 supports up to 10 line cards in ACI-mode).
