Hello there,   i am trying to simulate a connection of  two routers cisco 2911 routers in packet tracer with optical fiber however i get an error message, " The cable cannot be connected to that port" , what could be the problem or procedure on using optical fiber connection between routers. Also when i add modules: HWIC-1GE-SFP on the 2911, they do not appear on the list of interfaces on the router.  Help or hints will be appreciated on using fiber optics connection for routers.

Hello @Flavio Miranda  thank you for your quick response,

I have found a solution, i managed to connect the two 2911 routers after adding modules HWIC-1GE-SFP and GLC-LH-SMD combined and i was able to connect. See image attached.fibre connection 2911 Packet tracerfibre connection 2911 Packet tracer2911 back view2911 back view

Hi

 This router does not support fiber. Use an ISR4331 with module GLC-GE-100FX.

 

Can you give a step on how to do it ?
