Will any SFP work with any switch?

As long as the SFP modules are compatible with the switch they are installed in, the traffic between switches does not matter. 10G ethernet is not brand specific meaning you can have a Cisco switch with an SFP connected via fiber to an HP switch and the links will work fine.

Are SFP modules brand specific?

Instead of being standardized by official standards, SFP is specified by MSA. It defines SFP modules including the size, connectors, and signaling to assure SFP modules are compatible with branded SFP devices.

Can I use Cisco SFP on HP switch?

Well, FUD aside, it is possible to use non-vendor branded SFPs in Cisco or HP switches. Cisco switches require two configuration parameters in order to use non-Cisco branded SFP and SFP+ modules. Now, you can use any brand of SFP and SFP+ modules.

Are SFP modules hot swappable?

Small form-factor pluggable, or SFP, devices are hot-swappable interfaces used primarily in network and storage switches. The SFP ports on a switch and SFP modules enable the switch to connect to fiber and Ethernet cables of different types and speeds.

Is not a Aruba transceiver?

What is SFP module in switch?

An SFP transceiver, also known as an SFP module, is just a hot-swappable, pinky-sized metal component that, when connected to another device using a cable, allows for the transmission of data. Photo: An SFP module is inserted into an SFP port on a network switch.

Are SFP modules backwards compatible?

Yes, you can use a 1Gbps SFP module in an SFP+ port. By definition SFP+ ports are 1/10Gbps and either will work. Yep backwards compatible – we took the 1GB SFP from our old Linksys SG unit and used it in the MS225’s – has been running fine for over 8mths or so now.
