Cisco SFTP-10G-T-X compatibility with Nexus 9000 C93180YC-EX

[sameerasripad]

Dear Team,

We are planning to connect NIC1 and NIC2 interfaces of ISE C220M5 UCS server to Nexus 9000 C93180YC-EX switches. with Cisco SFTP-10G-T-X SFP.

The interfaces are detecting these SFP's but getting an error. I have also checked on the compatibility matrix and support guide. 

Please find the below logs and errors:

Cisco SFP-10G-T-X Module Support

Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 9.3(5), 10G BASE-T SFP+ (RJ-45) is supported on N9K-C93240YC-FX2, N9K-C93180YC-EX, N9K-C93180YC-FX and N9K-C93360YC-FX2 devices. This copper transceiver operates at 10G by default.

When you connect a SFP-10G-T-X device into a port, all the neighboring ports of this device must be either empty, or be connected to passive copper links only.

I have not suggested to connect another nexus 9K

suggested to use different port or asic

Look at the configuration guide of 9.3 code :
