  • 1.  Aruba InstantON 1930 (HPE-JL680A) problem with SFP

    Posted Oct 26, 2021 12:22 AM

    Hello guys,

    I'm having a problem with fiber optic connection to the mentioned switch. I have the following configuration:

    TP-Link MC220L Gigabit SFP Media converter

    SFP Module inside media converter is TL-SM311LS 1000Base-LX

    SFP Module inside switch is MaxLink ML-S31D-3-HP

    Problem is that switch does not see the link, when i connect fiber optic to switch, led blinks for a second and that's it, link is down.

    Switch FW version is 1.0.5.0(139)


    #Port
    #Aruba

    Hello @hpe091,

    Was this working earlier or its a new issue?

    Are you using HPE branded SFP?

    Please refer below links for supported SFP's on this switch:

    Thank you for Your response.

    Switch is new, and our seller checked with the supplier and offered us 2 maxlink SFP modules and they said that that module is compatible with this switch. The MaxLink ones in my original post.

    Little update,

    I connected my new aruba switch with an old Procurve switch 2626 and then link works without a problem. Why doesn't work with my media converter ?

    No, that's it, when connecting to media converter that's the only message that is seen. Switch says link down.

    Hello @hpe091 ,

    It seems there is a compatibility issue between media convertor and SFP..

    There might be remote intervention required.

    Can you log a case with support  if they can assist on this issue?

    Thanks!
