Connect to SFP/SFP+ Ports
To connect a fiber-optic cable to an SFP or SFP+ module, follow these steps.
1. Remove the rubber plugs from the module port and fiber-optic cable,
and store them for future use.
2. Insert one end of the fiber-optic cable into the SFP module port.
3. Insert the other cable end into a fiber-optic receptacle on a target device.
4. Observe the port status indicator:
• The status indicator turns amber while the SFP discovers the
network topology and searches for loops. This process takes about 30
seconds, and then the port status indicator turns green.
• The status indicator turns green when the switch and the target
device have an established link.
• The status indicator turns off if the target device is not turned on or
there is a problem with the cable or the adapter in the target device.
5. If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or the target device.
