Sfp/Sfp+/Sfp28/Sfp56 Installation Notes - Aruba 6300F Series Installation And Getting Started Manual

SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 installation notes

When selecting a fiber SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 device, make sure it can function at a maximum temperature that
is not less than the recommended maximum operational temperature of the product. Use only an approved Laser
Class 1 SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceiver.
To ensure proper operation of your switch, use only the HPE Aruba SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceivers
supported by your switch.
Use only supported Aruba SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceivers
Non-Aruba SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceivers are not supported. Use of supported Aruba products
ensures that your network maintains optimal performance and reliability. If you require additional
transceivers, contact an Aruba sales representative or an authorized reseller. The following resources can
help you to find transceiver support information for your switch model:
See the Transceiver Guide.

Hot swapping SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceivers
Supported SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceivers that you can install in your Aruba switch can be "hot
swapped"– removed and installed while the switch is receiving power. However, disconnect the network
cables from the SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceivers before hot-swapping them.
When you replace a SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceiver with another transceiver of a different type, the
switch may retain selected port-specific configuration settings that were configured for the replaced unit. Be
sure to validate or reconfigure port settings as required.
SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 connections to devices with fixed speed/duplex configurations
When connecting a device to your switch port that contains a SSFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceiver, the
speed and duplex settings of the switch port and the connected device must match. Otherwise, the device
may not link properly—you may not get a link. For some older network devices, the default speed/duplex
settings may be predefined such that they are set differently from the default configuration of your switch.
(For example, 1000 Mbps/Full Duplex.) These setting differences may also apply to some older Hewlett
Packard Enterprise devices. Because of these default speed/duplex considerations, make sure that devices
