Install and Remove SFP Modules
The ASA uses a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module to establish Gigabit Ethernet connections; this module
is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into available SFP ports.

SFP Module Support
Use only Cisco certified SFP modules on the ASA. Each SFP module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded
with security information. This encoding provides a way for Cisco to identify and validate that the SFP module
meets the requirements for the ASA.
For a list of the supported SFP modules, see the product data sheet at the following URL:
