Hi @Mabouzid , I’ve used some weird and wonderful sfps in these boxes with minimal fuss.

 

Have you tried swapping the fibre heads round on your fibre patch lead?

What’s connected to the remote end?  Do you have visibility at that end?  Any light coming out of the port at that end?  What fibre is running between both ends also?

Does the Meraki Dashboard show that the SFP+ is plugged in?

Hi @Mabouzid ,

You can check if it is compatible using this guide.

Most of the time the issue is fibre strand need to be swaped or the Wavelength does match on either side. See below guide.
