You could faced with your Cisco Devices when you tried to use with non-cisco product third party SFP Module. But I believe you will think about that SFP Module itself is not functioning properly or your Device Port is not functional at first time experience. Well...it is not. Your Cisco Device will prompt you with below Log Message in the console. %PHY-4-UNSUPPORTED_TRANSCEIVER: Unsupported transceiver found in Gi1/0/52 %GBIC_SECURITY_CRYPT-4-VN_DATA_CRC_ERROR: GBIC in port 65538 has bad crc This log message says that the port attached with third party SFP Module just disabled. So, we need to workaround to work that. Just need to type two commane line as below, switch>configure terminal switch(config)# service unsupported-transceiver switch(config)# no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid You should see Warning Message after you key-in "service unsupported-transceiver " that prompt Cisco Warranty will not cover if you use Third Party SFP Module. no errdis
Be knowledgeable, pass it on then.
