Can I change my SFPs from copper to fibre?

"I'm moving my SBC 5k from one building to another and need to change my SFPs from copper to fibre. Can I just swap them with the Ribbon-provided SFPs before I power on the SBC, or is there more involved?"

You can swap the SFPs as long as you make sure to use the Ribbon-provided SFPs. Do not use a mix fiber and copper SFPs (all PKT ports have to be the same and all HA ports have to be the same).

How do I transfer files from one unit to the other?

...

  1. From the source SBC, login to Linux shell and then change directory to where the file is located.

  2. Connect to target SBC. In this example, SBXa is the source and SBXb is the target SBC.

    Code Block
    languagenone
    sftpadmin@SBXa$admin@SBXa$ sftp -oPort=2024 sftpadmin@SBXbadmin@SBXb
    Connecting to SBXb
    sftpadmin@SBXbadmin@SBXb's password: <password>
    Connected to SBXb
  3. Use the put command to transfer a file to the specified directory as shown in the example below.

    Code Block
    languagenone
    sftp> put sbc-V03.01.00-R000.x86_64.tar.gz /opt/sonus/external
