Companies and organizations are now seeking cost-effective alternatives to Cisco-branded Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers.
It appears that Cisco switches do not support Allied Telesis SFPs. If you try using any third-party SFPs to connect your network backbone, you’ll quickly stumble across an error.
When an SFP is inserted into a Cisco switch’s SFP port, the switch immediately reads a number of values from the SFP. If it doesn’t like what it sees, it displays an error message, leading you to believe that the switch can’t work with third­party SFPs. Allied Telesis does have a solution for this error.
All SFP modules contain a number of recorded values in their EEPROM. These values include:
▶ Vendor Name ▶ Vendor ID ▶ Serial Number ▶ Security Code ▶ CRC
How to enable the Cisco switch to use Allied Telesis SFPs
Despite the displayed error, there are two undocumented commands which you can use to enable Cisco switches to use the SFP port, and the Allied Telesis SFPs:
▶ First: #service unsupported_transceiver. ▶ Second: #no errdisable detect cause gbicinvalid
Easy three step process:
Step 1: Command:#service unsupported_transceiver
Step 2: Command: #no errdisable detect cause
gbicinvalid
Step 3: Insert Allied Telesis SFP, and connect to the
network
That’s it! Congratulations, you can now use
Allied Telesis SFP’s in your Cisco switches.
