we had some spare SFP and after we taken out of err-disable the port we tried replacing the SFP on both sides (xxxxxxSW1 and xxxxxxSW5). the show inventory on xxxxxxSW5 shows a different serial number when changing the SFP but on xxxxxxSW1 the switch is not showing anything on port gi0/24 with any of the 3 SFP we had available.
As i am not that familiarized with the specific model can someone give me an idea on why this is happening? could it be a broken switch port and we would have to reconsider the replacement of the switch?
