Installing a Transceiver in an EX Series Switch
The transceivers for EX Series switches are hot-removable and hot-insertable
field-replaceable units (FRUs): You can remove and replace them without powering off
the switch or disrupting switch functions.
NOTE: After you insert a transceiver or when you change the media-type
configuration, wait for 6 seconds for the interface to appear in operational
commands.
Use only optical transceivers and optical connectors purchased from Juniper Networks
for your EX Series switches.
NOTE: On an EX3200 switch, if you install a transceiver in a 1-gigabit uplink
module port, a corresponding network port from the last four built-in ports
is disabled. For example, if you install a transceiver in the 1-gigabit uplink
module port 2 (ge-0/1/2), then the built-in port 23 (ge-0/0/22) is disabled.
The disabled port is not listed in the output of show interface commands.
Before you begin installing a transceiver in an EX Series switch, ensure that you have
taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see “Laser and LED Safety
Guidelines and Warnings for EX Series Switches” on page 139).
Ensure that you have a rubber safety cap available to cover the transceiver.
Figure 31 on page 80 shows how to install an SFP transceiver. The procedure is the same
for all transceiver types.
