Hello,

I want to use SFP RJ45 modules on X430. I don't have extreme branded module (part number 10050) but grab an OEM one to test. Whet I plug the module to X430 it logs this:

Media 1000T is inserted into Port 26

But when I plug a laptop to the module, no link comes up. X430 does not logs anything either. So is there any configuration to be done on the switch to use the module or this means the OEM one is not compatible with X430?

Regards,

Rahman

@EtherMAN Yes, what I want is to use 25-28 ports for end user connection. I found the problem BTW. The OEM module was 1000T only, not 10/100/1000. So it did not worked with my laptop which is Fast Ethernet.

What I've heard from manufacturers of OEM-compatible modules that RJ45 SFPs are for some reason somewhat tricky. Not sure if it's the coding or what. Usually they are not as cheap as one would imagine either.

Have you tried the usual stuff like disabling autoneg on both sides etc.?
