After connecting the device to the network, you can use the
ping
or
tracert
command to verify
network connectivity. For more information about the commands, see the command reference for
the device.
Connecting a fiber port
WARNING!
Disconnected optical fibers or transceiver modules might emit invisible laser light. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments when the device is operating.
CAUTION:
•
Never bend or curve a fiber excessively. The bend radius of a fiber must be not less than 100 mm
(3.94 in).
•
Keep the fiber end clean.
•
Make sure the fiber connector matches the transceiver module.
•
Before connecting a fiber, make sure the optical receive power does not exceed the transceiver
module's upper threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, the transceiver module might be
damaged.
•
Before installing a transceiver module in a fiber port, remove the optical fibers, if any, from the
transceiver module.
•
To connect a fiber port by using an optical fiber, first install a transceiver module in the port and
then connect the optical fiber to the transceiver module.
•
Insert a dust cap into any open optical fiber connector and a dust plug into any open fiber port or
transceiver module port to protect them from contamination and ESD damage.
•
Make sure the Tx and Rx ports on a transceiver module are connected to the Rx and Tx ports on
the peer end, respectively.
The device supports GE SFP transceiver modules, 10GE SFP+ transceiver modules, and 40GE
QSFP+ transceiver modules. For the transceiver module specifications, see port specifications in
"Appendix A Chassis and FRU views and technical specifications."
No transceiver modules are provided with the device. As a best practice, use H3C transceiver
modules for the device.
