How to determine what types of optical transceivers for Cisco switches?

1. Finding the corresponding optical module compatibility matrix via Cisco official website. 
2. On the running switches, enter the privileged mode and input # "show idprom interface gi1 / 0/48" command, you can query the optical module model and serial number, If not, try to input other two commands: xuxic or show idprom int g2/6
3. Checking the type and port based on the specification, it can be used as long as it is gigabit SFP optical module interface. But the specific models to be decided according to the actual demand, such as type, the actual use of distance, single-mode or multimode, single fiber or dual fiber etc. Welcome to consult Cozlink engineer.

FAQ:

Is a Cisco 2960 a Layer 3 switch?

As of 12.2(55) SE, 2960s are layer 3 switches. Configuring Catalyst 2960s to route is pretty simple.

 

Is Cisco Catalyst 2960 series a managed switch?

Why Should I Care About the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches? Cisco offers a family of intelligent managed switches designed specifically for medium-sized businesses.

 

What is the difference between a switch and a Layer 3 switch?

A Layer 3 switch is basically a switch that can perform routing functions in addition to switching. A client computer requires a default gateway for layer 3 connectivity to remote subnets. When the computer sends traffic to another subnet, the destination MAC address in the packet is for the default gateway.
