Installing And Removing Sfp Modules - Cisco ASR 9000 Series Installation Manual

Installing and Removing SFP Modules

verify the status of the modular port adapter (MPA) ports. Refer to Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation
Services Router Getting Started Guide and Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router
Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide for more information on bringing up and
configuring the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router and theCisco ASR 9000 A9K-MOD160G-H or the
Cisco ASR 9000 A9K-MOD80G-H. For more information on command syntax, refer to the publications
listed in the
detailed command descriptions and examples.
The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After
sending a series of signals, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to echo the signals.
Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each signal that is
not returned before the specified timeout is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points
(!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed]
indicate that the connection failed.
Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the IP address 10.1.1.60:
Router# ping 10.1.1.60
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.1.1.60, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms
Router#
If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the destination device and that the
destination device is active (powered on), and then repeat the ping command.
Installing and Removing SFP Modules
Before you remove or install an SFP or SFP+ module, read the installation information in this section
and the safety information in the
Protect the SFP or SFP+ modules by inserting clean dust covers into them after the cables are removed.
Caution
Be sure to clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cables before you plug them back into the optical ports of
another module. Avoid getting dust and other contaminants into the optical ports of your SFP or SFP+
modules, because the optics do not work correctly when obstructed with dust.
It is strongly recommended that you do not install or remove the SFP or SFP+ module with fiber-optic
Caution
cables attached to it because of the potential to damage the cable, the cable connector, or the optical
interfaces in the module. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP or SFP+ module.
Removing and inserting an module can shorten its useful life, so you should not remove and insert
modules any more often than is absolutely necessary.
SFP and SFP+ modules use one of four different latching devices to install and remove the module from
a port. The four types of SFP module latching devices are described in the following sections:
