How to connect to a Cisco switch using a console cable and putty.
Also a trick for using NON-CISCO SFP Modules in your switch.


This video covers two parts. The first part of the video basics is to connect to a cisco switch with a console cable and a program named PUTTY. We will need a Cisco Console cable that will be used to connect to the console port of the switch.

Next is a trick on using NON-CISCO SFP modules in a cisco switch for expanding the network. Here are the commands that are used if you follow the video to enable the NON-CISCO SFP.

"service unsupported-transceiver"
"no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid"

Here is a link to the cisco console cable that is used from Amazon

Here is a link to the program PUTTY that will be used

When using 3rd party GBICs, one must keep in mind that Cisco TAC will not provide any support for problems related to the SFPs as they are totally unsupported.
