Small Form-Factor Pluggables for Cisco ISR1000

Small Form-Factor Pluggables (SFPs) that are not Cisco certified are called third-party SFPs. Cisco approved means the SFPs have undergone rigorous testing with Cisco products and the SFPs are guaranteed to have 100% compatibility.


Note

Cisco does not provide any kind of support for the third-party SFPs because they are not validated by Cisco.

Configuring Third-Party SFPs

Third-party SFPs are manufactured by companies that are not on the Cisco-approved Vendor List (AVL). Currently, Cisco ISR1000 routers support only Cisco-approved SFPs. From Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1, Cisco ISR1000 routers recognize third-party SFPs.

Procedure

  Command or Action Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2

service unsupported-transceiver

Example:

Router(config)# service unsupported-transceiver

Enables third-party SFP support.

Step 3

interface type slot subslot port number

Example:

Router(config-if)# interface ethernet 0/3/0

Selects an interface to configure.

Step 4

media-type sfp

Example:

Router(config-if)#media-type sfp

Changes media type to SFP.

Step 5

speed value

Example:

Router# speed 100

Configures the speed of the interface.

Note

 

For 100BASE SFPs, configure the speed to 100 Mbps only. Similarly, for 1000BASE SFPs, configure the speed to 1000 Mbps only.

Step 6

shutdown

Example:

Router(config)# shutdown

Disables the interface, changing its state from administratively UP to administratively DOWN.

Step 7

no shutdown

Example:

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Enables the interface, changing its state from administratively DOWN to administratively UP.

Step 8

exit

Example:

Router(config-if)#exit

Exits the configuration mode and returns the global configuration mode.

Examples

This example shows how to configure a third-party SFP on a Cisco ISR1000 Series Router:

Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/3/0
Router(config-if)# service unsupported-transceiver
Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/3/0
Router(config-if)# media-type sfp
Router(config-if)# speed 100
Router(config-if)# shutdown
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# exit
