DS-300B ISL SFP

Hi! Everyone

We use DS-300B * 2EA, which are tied together by ISL.

Simple information Firmware Version : 6.4.1 / ISL Port speed : 1G

I have a question here. If ISL's SFP Module needs to be replaced, can i just replace another SFP Moudle??

Does being bound by ISL mean that there is no need for special procedures??

Thanks!

DS

Hello Blackhamer,

When replacing an SFP, follow these steps:

1.       Disable the Port (Also disable the port when a SFP is in Faulted or Missing state).

2.       Replace the SFP

3.       Enable the Port

Once all steps are performed, the Port should work fine.

If it's an ISL, you might have to disable/re-enable the port on the other side of the ISL link. Sometimes if the other side goes offline due to CRC/BitErrors ..you have to "cycle" the port for the link to come back up.
