I'm looking at a switch like this:
https://www.fs.com/products/29123.html
It has 48 10-GbE SFP+ ports and 6 40-GbE uplink ports. I would like to use some of these uplinks to cross-connect to another switch. In addition to that, however, I have a server with a 40-GbE capable NIC in it. Can this be connected directly to the 40-GbE port on the switch and "just work," or are these uplink ports special in that they must connect to uplink ports on another switch?
I know this used to be a thing for copper-based cabling before Auto-MDIX became commonplace, but it's not clear to me whether it's still an issue for modern SFP/QSFP-based connections.
