Follow these steps to safely install the network module into a compatible Cisco Catalyst 9300 series switch.

Awọn iṣọra Aabo:

• Ensure the switch is powered off and disconnected from the power source before installation.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap connected to a grounded surface to prevent electrostatic discharge.
• Handle the module by its edges; avoid touching components or connectors.

Awọn igbesẹ fifi sori ẹrọ:

1. Prepare the Switch: Power off the Cisco Catalyst 9300 series switch and disconnect all power cables.
2. Locate the Module Slot: Identify an available network module slot on the rear panel of the switch. If a blank cover is present, remove it by unscrewing the captive screws and pulling the cover out.
3. Fi Module sii: Align the network module with the empty slot. Gently slide the module into the slot until it is fully seated. Ensure the module's connectors engage properly with the switch's backplane.
4. Ṣe aabo Module naa: Tighten the captive screws on the module's faceplate to secure it firmly in place.
5. Tun agbara so pọ: Reconnect the power cables to the switch and power it on.
6. Jẹrisi fifi sori ẹrọ: After the switch boots up, verify that the module is detected and operational through the switch's command-line interface (CLI) or management interface.

4. Awọn ilana Iṣiṣẹ

Once the network module is installed, you can begin configuring and using its 25 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Connecting SFP28 Transceivers:

1. Select Transceivers: Use only Cisco-qualified 25G SFP28 transceivers compatible with the Catalyst 9300 series.
2. Insert Transceiver: Gently insert the SFP28 transceiver into one of the module's 25G slots until it clicks into place.
3. So okun okun opitiki pọ: Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the SFP28 transceiver. Ensure the cable type matches the transceiver specifications (e.g., multimode or single-mode).
4. Verify Link Status: Check the port status LEDs on the module or use the switch's CLI to confirm that the link is up and operational.

Basic Configuration (CLI Example):

For detailed configuration, refer to the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switch Software Configuration Guide. Below is a basic example for interface configuration:

Switch# configure terminalSwitch(config)# interface TwentyFiveGigabitEthernet X/Y/Z   (Replace X/Y/Z with actual interface ID)Switch(config-if)# description Uplink_to_CoreSwitch(config-if)# no shutdownSwitch(config-if)# speed 25000Switch(config-if)# duplex fullSwitch(config-if)# endSwitch# write memory

Akiyesi: The interface numbering (X/Y/Z) depends on the specific switch model and slot where the module is installed. Consult your switch documentation for exact interface identification.

5. Itọju

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your network module.

Ninu:

• Keep the module's ports and connectors free from dust and debris. Use compressed air or a lint-free cloth for cleaning.
• When handling fiber optic cables and transceivers, ensure connectors are clean to prevent signal degradation. Use specialized fiber optic cleaning tools if necessary.
