Hot swapping SFP+ transceivers
Supported SFP+ 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+
transceivers before hot-swapping them.
When you replace a SFP+ 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+ connections to devices with fixed speed/duplex configurations
When connecting a device to your switch port that contains a SFP+ 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 connected to your
SFP+ ports are properly configured. At a minimum, make sure the configurations match.
