Upgrading from 2 port to 8 port module on 930048H

[mmcpaul]

I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade from a 2 port module to an 8 port module in the 9300-48H switches?  We are using a full SDA deployment in our environment and I assume if we tried to swap them out we would run into a slew of issues in doing so.
C9300-NM-2Y - currently installed

while CatC still collect inventory from chassis, in inventory itself it uses S/Ns of chassis as one of the key IDs/indexes.
Try it in the LAB 1st, or create TAC SR to predict the result of NM replacement

Hello,

the C9300-NM-8X (Catalyst 9300 Series 8x 10G/1G Network Module) is the compatible module. Obviously, since you are running a full SDA deployment, VLANs, VRFs, and SDA settings (e.g. SDA Edge Port configuration) need special attention.

I am not sure if adding ports triggers changes in the license configuration...

HTH,

yes, possible; if that is uplink, then you need to consider config change with bootstrap and re-provisioning.

We've changed many 4G to 8X uplink modules out in production in C93 24p/48p and 24UXBs.

We worked out that a little copy and paste is all that's need. Copy the the live interface configuration, swap the module/sfps etc, configure the new interfaces with with the L3 config of the old and boom. Connectivity restored, resync the device in the inventory and move on.

That is actually a really simple and straightforward method.  Thank you.
