Questions & Answers

  • What should I do if the 48TX card’s 10G mGig ports stay at 1G?

    Check if connected devices support mGig, verify cable quality (Cat6a or better), and use 'show interface' to check port negotiation status.
  • Which mounting clips ship with the 48TX module?

    You’ll receive rack screws, mounting ears, cable management brackets, and port dust covers in the accessory kit.
  • How does the 48TX copper-only card differ from the 48UX?

    The 48TX offers standard Gigabit and multigig copper ports, while the 48UX supports PoE+ and additional multigig speeds.
  • Is there a fiber-only 10G alternative to the 48TX?

    Yes, the C9400-LC-24XS and C9400-LC-48XS offer 10G fiber SFP+ ports.
  • In what branch deployments is the 48TX most effective?

    It is commonly used in enterprise edge, branch access, or high-density workgroup deployments needing copper connectivity.
  • Which LEDs diagnose link-speed problems on the 48TX?

    A blinking amber port LED signals speed negotiation issues or faults; solid green indicates healthy link.
  • How to hot-swap a 48TX card during production hours?

    Ensure redundant supervisor modules are present, pull out the old card, insert the new one, and check 'show module' for recognition.
  • What cable types (Cat6a/Cat7) are certified for 48TX?

    Use Cat6a for reliable 10G, Cat7 for future-proofing. Lower categories may downgrade link speed.
  • How do I verify autonegotiation on the 48TX ports?

    Use 'show controllers ethernet-controller' or 'show interface status' to view negotiation results.
  • Can I reassign 48TX lanes to other line cards?

    No, port lanes are fixed per card. For port expansion, add more line cards to available slots.
  • Which bundle comes with the 48TX installation?

    Dust caps, mounting brackets, cable managers, and install screws are standard.
  • How do I reset 48TX port-level traffic stats?

    Use 'clear counters interface [id]' in EXEC mode.
  • What quarterly checks prevent 48TX misalignments?

    Inspect for dust buildup, verify port seating, check system logs for error counts, and test cables regularly.
  • Does the 48TX support MACsec encryption?

    MACsec is available on supported ports with the correct software feature license.
  • Which CLI commands show 48TX temperature and fan RPM?

    'show environment' and 'show platform' report temperature and fan health metrics.
