  • They aren't any different than any other SFP. You pull the existing one out and put a new one in.

      Thank you Parker. Do we need to halt or reboot the system to do this process which is prod device.

      No need to halt or reboot. If the SFP is failed already, no harm no foul. If its part of a LACP trunk just for sanity sake you may disable the interface before you pull the old one and insert the new one. These are hot swap-able components. Its more of a matter do you have traffic currently flowing through it? And if so, will disabling the interface allow traffic to flow through another interface.
