• Ensure the fiber cable type matches the GBIC module type:
  • Use multi-mode fiber cables for SR (short-range) GBIC modules.
  • Use single-mode fiber cables for LR (long-range) GBIC modules.
• Monitor the DDMI (Digital Diagnostics Monitoring Interface) logs on both devices to ensure there are no signal abnormalities.

With the proper setup, this configuration should work seamlessly. If you encounter any side issues, feel free to open a new support ticket for additional
