Salama Moduli: Tighten the captive screws on the module's faceplate to secure it firmly in place.
Unganisha tena Nguvu: Unganisha tena nyaya za umeme kwenye swichi na uziwashe.
Thibitisha Usakinishaji: After the switch boots up, verify that the module is detected and operational through the switch's command-line interface (CLI) or management interface.

4. Maagizo ya Uendeshaji

Once the network module is installed, you can begin configuring and using its 25 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Connecting SFP28 Transceivers:

Select Transceivers: Use only Cisco-qualified 25G SFP28 transceivers compatible with the Catalyst 9300 series.
Insert Transceiver: Gently insert the SFP28 transceiver into one of the module's 25G slots until it clicks into place.
Unganisha Kebo ya Fiber Optic: Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the SFP28 transceiver. Ensure the cable type matches the transceiver specifications (e.g., multimode or single-mode).
Verify Link Status: Check the port status LEDs on the module or use the switch's CLI to confirm that the link is up and operational.

Basic Configuration (CLI Example):

For detailed configuration, refer to the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switch Software Configuration Guide. Below is a basic example for interface configuration:

Switch# configure terminalSwitch(config)# interface TwentyFiveGigabitEthernet X/Y/Z   (Replace X/Y/Z with actual interface ID)Switch(config-if)# description Uplink_to_CoreSwitch(config-if)# no shutdownSwitch(config-if)# speed 25000Switch(config-if)# duplex fullSwitch(config-if)# endSwitch# write memory

Kumbuka: The interface numbering (X/Y/Z) depends on the specific switch model and slot where the module is installed. Consult your switch documentation for exact interface identification.

5. Matengenezo

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your network module.

Kusafisha:

Keep the module's ports and connectors free from dust and debris. Use compressed air or a lint-free cloth for cleaning.
When handling fiber optic cables and transceivers, ensure connectors are clean to prevent signal degradation. Use specialized fiber optic cleaning tools if necessary.
