As part of a core upgrade project, I am configuring our Cisco Catalyst 9500-16X core switches in a StackWise Virtual pair. Currently there is a port channel between these cores. As part of the upgrade we have created two new diverse fiber paths that have been tested with the OTDR. I have ordered Cisco 9500-NM-2Q 40g network modules and QSFP+. Before creating the SVL I would like to slot the modules and SFPs and connect the links to test connectivity and transceiver details. My thoughts are I can configure the 40g interfaces for access mode in an unused test vlan. This should not effect the production network. Is this a valid thesis?
