media converter with module bay - cable trace? #9514
-
|
i have got an media converter with an SFP slot on the one side and an simple copper port (RJ45) on the other side. how can i define this device? i would save the ability to trace a cable across the media-converter. if i add an module-bay for the SFP-slot i can plug an SFP-module, but this will provide an new interface (sure, i have defined it on SFP-Module) on the device (media converter). so how can i pass through this connection to my RJ45 Port and keep the ability for cable tracing across the media converter device? |

Module bays should not be used for optics; use inventory items if you need to track SFPs. You can model one side as a front port and the other as a rear port, to ensure the cable path is traced through the device. |

so SFP-opticts should never implemented as a module? also for switches if the SFP-module act as an interface? |
