BIG-IP 7200v-ssl - 1Gig sfp
Does the 8 fiber ports available in 7200v-ssl support 1Gig sfp's. If it supports, will a Cisco GLC-SX-MM sfp work in it, or we need to buy sfp specific from F5?

I don't think so, the 8 ports are sfp+. F5 won't support transceivers that aren't sold by them, so if you use other brands it might work (it did in my lab with non-f5 transceivers) but you might get into trouble when opening a support ticket

Thanks. You meant 7200v does not support 1Gig sfp on the 8 fiber ports?
The datasheet says it supports.

you're correct, my apologies.. SFP are compatible with SFP+. F5 platform specs list for the 7200.
Optional 1 Gbps Fiber or Copper Ports = 8
