C9300-NM-8X card - only for sfp+?

[vstepanov]

Hello,

please, could someone help me to find information about if C9300-NM-8X card supports sfp or sfp+ only. So is it possible to use for 1gigabitethernet port.  The only indirect prove that it's possible I found in the document

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst9300/hardware/install/b_c9300_hig/b_c9300_hig_chapter_011.pdf

on p.5 All ports in the C9300-NM-8X module defaultt to 10G and should be configured asTenGigabitEthernet1/1/1 through TenGigabitEthernet1/1/8, even when you are operating the m as1G using SFP.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

Yes it does

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst9300/hardware/install/b_c9300_hig/b_c9300_hig_chapter_01001.html

Table 2  Network Modules

Network Module1	Description
C9300-NM-4G	This module has four 1G SFP module slots. Any combination of standard SFP modules are supported. SFP+ modules are not supported. If you insert an SFP+ module in the 1G network module, the SFP+ module does not operate, and the switch logs an error message.
C9300-NM-8X	This module has eight 10G slots with an SFP+ port in each slot. Each port supports a 1G or 10G connection.
C9300-NM-2Q	This module has two 40G slots with a QSFP+ connector in each slot.
C9300-NM-BLANK	Insert this blank module when the switch has no uplink ports (this is required for sufficient air flow).

Hello experts,

Depending on which NM you install it is just prepared. Like a template.

Base on the document here:

Installing Network Modules C9300 series

They should be configured as 10G, but you can use a SFP (instead of SFP+) and operate them as 1G.

"C9300-NM-8XModuleAll ports in the C9300-NM-8Xmoduledefaultto 10 G and shouldbe configuredas TenGigabitEthernet1/1/1throughTenGigabitEthernet1/1/8,even when you are operatingthem as 1 G using SFP."
