Introduction
The current compatibility matrix allows users, typically Cisco customers and sales, to determine what transceivers are supported in Cisco hardware devices such as switches/routers and line cards/modules. The information is displayed in a table format that is rigid and hard to find.
The new compatibility matrix tool will allow the user to have an interactive experience by permitting specific search or query options, and selecting the type of outputs desired. The application features follow conventions frequently used today with expected behaviors. Thus, the features are user intuitive and do not require extra training.
