Look for modules like (Gigabit Fiber) or PT-SWITCH-NM-1FGE . Drag and drop the module into an empty slot. Power On : Turn the device back on. Establish the Link :

Before building a link, locate the device:

  • Verify connectivity with ping and show interface status. The switch/router acts as the media converter.
