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.

Scalable Network Expansion

To expand the network on the ME-3400-24TS-A Cisco 24-Ports 100MB Ethernet 2-Ports 1GB SFP Switch, there are a few options available:

  • Add more switches to the network: By adding more switches to the network, you can increase the number of available ports and expand the network to cover more areas. This can be done by connecting the new switch to an existing switch using a fiber optic cable or a copper cable.

  • Add more SFP modules: The switch has 2 SFP ports that can be used to connect to other switches or devices using fiber optic cables. By adding more SFP modules, you can increase the number of available ports and expand the network to cover more areas.

  • Add more VLANs: VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) allow you to segment the network and create separate virtual networks. By adding more VLANs, you can increase the number of available ports and expand the network to cover more areas.

  • Upgrade to a higher-speed switch: If your network is growing and the current switch is not able to handle the increased traffic, you may need to upgrade to a higher-speed switch with more ports and faster speeds. This will allow you to expand the network and handle more traffic.

  • Use Cisco Meraki devices: Cisco Meraki devices can be used to expand the network and provide additional features such as wireless access points and cloud management.
