Hi to all.

Hi,

Media Type: unknown

You may have an incompatible optic installed on the Cisco switch. Is this a Cisco optic? Was it purchased from a trusted Cisco partner/reseller?

Can you post the part number of the optic?

Thanks for the answer.  It is a huawei optic.  

I suppose that the product id is on the photo i attached in my thread.  I googled it and it is the following:

I doubt that a Huawei optic will work on a Cisco switch. I recommend getting one from a Cisco reseller.

Thanks, i have a very large number of these optics as my backbone is 100 Gbps huawei based switches with 100/40/4x25/4x10 ports and i  wondered if i could use these optics on my access 9407Rs also.

I will ask my reseller for cisco compatible ones.

Why would you use Chinese government parts on your network?  Security not an issue where you work?
