Frequently Asked Questions
Port speeds, optics and the Tanzania lane.
Cisco Support in Tanzania After End of Life
An optic that fits, seats, powers up and appears in the inventory is a persuasive piece of evidence that the optic is not the fault. When the port still refuses to come up, that evidence sends the investigation everywhere except the one place worth looking, which is whether the port supports the speed at all.
The Cage Is Mechanical, the Capability Is Not
An SFP+ cage will physically accept a 1G SFP. Whether the port can operate at 1G is decided by the switching hardware behind it, and on a number of platforms the answer is no. Those ports are 10G only. The module is fine, the fibre is fine, and the port is being asked to do something it does not offer, so it stays down.
It can vary within one switch
On some platforms the capability differs between port groups on the same unit, so a module that works in one port will not work three ports along. That defeats the most natural test available, which is moving the optic to a different port and seeing whether it comes up. A result that changes with position looks like a faulty port rather than a documented capability boundary.
Why it surfaces on older estates
The 1G module being fitted is rarely a fresh purchase. It has come out of a decommissioned switch or a spares drawer, and it is being used because it is available and the port is empty. That is sensible reuse. It just needs the port checked first, and on hardware past its support date the documentation is rarely to hand and the people who commissioned it have usually moved on.
What ICD Supplies for Cisco Estates in Tanzania
Optics matched to the speeds a specific port group will negotiate, breakout and direct-attach assemblies rated for the lane in use, Catalyst and Nexus switching, supervisors and line cards at the level the chassis runs, UCS server and fabric components, and supplies matched to chassis airflow. Against the East Africa card we publish, a Tanzanian address is 4 to 6 days from Cairo door to door. All modules are run up in the port class they will occupy, serialised on our records, and covered one to three years.
