Transceiver—Rules and Notes

Keep in mind the following rules and notes when you connect and use GigaVUE‑HC1 nodes with transceivers:

■

Always use transceivers purchased from Gigamon to ensure interoperability and performance. Gigamon does not support transceivers purchased from other vendors.

■

After removing an optical transceiver, the best practice is to wait seventeen (17) or more seconds before re-inserting the same or different optical transceiver. This includes the intervals between removal/insertion/re-insertion.

■

Use the show port params all command to see transceiver type information for each of the network/tool ports in the GigaVUE‑HC1 node. Check the value of the SFP type field for the ports in question.

■

Port numbers starting with x (for example, x10) are 10Gb or 1Gb depending, on the transceiver installed.

Note:  For details about the supported transceivers, cable types, and connectivity specifications, refer to “GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix”.
