Thanks for feedback…
SFP in SFP+ port seems to vary … generally I never have to do that but in Juniper world for example on EX switches you can interchange them with certain modules (other modules have no support) and to do so you must enter a configuration command to set that mode… From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adam Moffett Sent: Friday, June 5, 2015 12:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] CCR1036-8G-2S+EM Negative sir. I've referring to Gigabit ethernet running on fiber optic cable with gigabit SFP modules. The problem occurred when one of the SFP modules was in an SFP+ (i.e. 10 gigabit) port which in theory should have been backwards compatible.
