I am not keen on going console is there a way to enable the ports using the hive manager?

Once you pop a viable SFP module and patch, it should come up, assuming it becomes a spanning tree forwarding port. </P> Fri, 31 May 2019 09:33:13 GMT https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/aerohive-migrated-content/i-am-upgrading-to-use-the-sfp-ports-and-i-can-t-get-them-enabled/m-p/80111#M8572 bruce_stahlin 2019-05-31T09:33:13Z https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/aerohive-migrated-content/i-am-upgrading-to-use-the-sfp-ports-and-i-can-t-get-them-enabled/m-p/80112#M8573 <P>What I am refering to is two fold.

If you have an sfp plugged in and fiber connected, but no activity lights:<BR /> 1) try reversing polarity of your fiber, making sure tx to rx &amp; vice versa. This will most likely be the case if there is a riser cable with two patches on either end as most patch cables flip polarity. Two patches would send rx-rx &amp; tx-tx<BR /> 2) make sure you’re using a compatible sfp Sat, 01 Jun 2019 03:22:40 GMT https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/aerohive-migrated-content/i-am-upgrading-to-use-the-sfp-ports-and-i-can-t-get-them-enabled/m-p/80113#M8574 bruce_stahlin 2019-06-01T03:22:40Z https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/aerohive-migrated-content/i-am-upgrading-to-use-the-sfp-ports-and-i-can-t-get-them-enabled/m-p/80114#M8575 <P>I found out after talking to the SFP plug provider that they sent me the wrong ones. </P> Sat, 01 Jun 2019 03:33:44 GMT https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/aerohive-migrated-content/i-am-upgrading-to-use-the-sfp-ports-and-i-can-t-get-them-enabled/m-p/80114#M8575 rbenner 2019-06-01T03:33:44Z
