Cisco 9500/ Getting 1GB

[lonmc1977]

Hey quick question.  I have some new 9500s I was to use but I do have a few 1GB devices Id like to get on there if possible.  I noticed the interfaces cant be down-sped to 1GB like I could on our Nexuses.  Any way to get 1GB on this 10GB switch?  If I get a C9500-NM-8X module will 1GB SFPs work?

What is the Model of 9500 - 9500 it self support 1GB SFP ports - depends on the model.

C9500-NM-8X

Cisco Catalyst 9500 8 x 10GE Network Module

For the above module, make sure you have the right Cat 9500 switch.

Ohhh K never mind.  The 9500s are apparently stricter than all my 9300/8500s.  They don't like off-brand SFPs.  Used Cisco brand SFP 1GBs and they worked fine.  Anything else, not.  Im good now....

Yep its a C9500-16X-A

Tried some 1GB SFPs and got the err disable action going

[balaji.bandi · Accepted solution]

you can use below command to support 3rd party :

service unsupported-transceiver
no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid
