HI,

I have 4507R+E Switch with WS-X4712-SFP+E line card, i have SFP modules not SFP+ modules and i need the ports of this line card to wrok with 1G speed using GLC-SX-MM .

do i need any special configuration to put under the TenGigabitEthernet ports in that line card to make it work with 1G speed???

Many thanks

You should have no problems SFP modules can be used with no restrictions on this module

Do a find on this page for 'WS-X4712-SFP+E' for official documentation.

Dear Antonio Knox,

i know that it will work but im asking about the configuration, should i have put any special configuration under the port because it is showing to me "interface tengigabitethernet not gigabitethernet in the show running-config ?? to make it work with 1G speed

thanks

No extra configuration will be required for this to work.  The switch will detect the speed and capabilities of the SFP.  The module is hard-set to say TenGigabitEthernet, but the SFP should work in GigabitEthernet, as expected.
