For example, you can replace a 2-Port 40GbE QSFP+ module only with another 2-Port 40GbE QSFP+ module. On the MXL 10/40GbE Switch, you can configure uplink ports of the same speed on different modules in the same link aggregation group (LAG). You can also use individual ports for uplink connections. NOTE: A maximum of 16 ports are supported in a LAG. For switch stacking, you must use a 40GbE port on the base module or on a 2-Port 40GbE QSFP+ plug-in module. Stacking is not supported on 10GbE ports. All FlexIO plug-in modules, transceivers, and attach cables are sold separately. 8 Hardware Overview

MXL 10/40GbE Switch: Plug-in Modules
NOTE:
You can only hot-swap plug-in modules of the same type without requiring a
reboot. For example, you can replace a 2-Port 40GbE QSFP+ module only with
another 2-Port 40GbE QSFP+ module.
On the MXL 10/40GbE Switch, you can configure uplink ports of the same
speed on different modules in the same link aggregation group (LAG). You
can also use individual ports for uplink connections.
NOTE:
A maximum of 16 ports are supported in a LAG.
For switch stacking, you must use a 40GbE port on the base module or on a
2-Port 40GbE QSFP+ plug-in module. Stacking is not supported on 10GbE
ports.
All FlexIO plug-in modules, transceivers, and attach cables are sold separately.
