Cisco Nexus 3048 – SFP Validation Failed Solution

ciscocisco-nexusNetworkswitch

I have cisco Nexus 3048TP switch (48x1G + 4x10G)

Hardware
  cisco Nexus 3048 Chassis ("48x1GE + 4x10G Supervisor")
  Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU        P4505  @ 1.87GHz with 3665240 kB of memory.
  Processor Board ID FOC17237JKC

I am seeing this error on port e1/49 which is 10G port and i have connected 10G SFP+ transceiver

 Ethernet1/49 is down (SFP validation failed)
     Dedicated Interface
      Hardware: 1000/10000 Ethernet, address: f872.eaae.36b8 (bia f872.eaae.36b8)
      MTU 1500 bytes, BW 10000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec
      reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
      Encapsulation ARPA
      Port mode is access
      auto-duplex, 10 Gb/s, media type is 10G

As per documentation they said you need to set speed so i did and got this error

n3k(config)# int e1/49
n3k(config-if)# speed 10000
ERROR: Ethernet1/49: Configuration does not match the port capability.

This switch located in remote datacenter so i can't re-seed until i have resources available, is there anything else i can do remotely?

Solved:

After reboot switch it fixed my issue, Now its showing SFP Type 10Gbase-SR

n3k# show int e1/49 capabilities
Ethernet1/49
  Model:                 N3K-C3048TP-1GE-SUP
  Type (SFP capable):    10Gbase-SR
  Speed:                 10000
  Duplex:                full
  Trunk encap. type:     802.1Q
  Channel:               yes

Look like you need to set speed first before inserting SFP.
