Cisco :: Best GBIC For Connecting Two Catalyst 2948Gs?
Apr 18, 2012
I am going to connect two Catalyst 2948G switches, and I want to know what the best GBIC is to use to do so. A link to a cable I could order would be great, or a brand and model number.
I have packet loss with QoS configured and I was wondering is it somehow connected with the QoS configured on the switch.The traffic is passing through fa0/19 and gi0/1 interfaces.
I have a 892 router configured on fa0 with vlan1 and a catalist 3560. On catalist all ports are in access mode and vlan1. When I'm connecting port fa0 from router to catalist, the catalist port is shuted down What should I do on router on catalist to make the connection working ?
I added Linksys RV-016 16-ports VPN Router into the connection. RV-016 supported multiple subnets.
As mentioned in [URL], D-Link DIR-615 needs to be a device which could support multiple Vlan subnets. But unluckily DIR-615 does not support multiple Vlan subnets.
Therefore I added Linksys RV-016 in the the combination of devices. As what i found in RV-016 GUI setting, it supports multiple subnets.
Purpose outline:
1. Have to create two different SSIDs. - SSID 1 for Management (able to view all other LAN devices) - SSID 2 for guest and staff (unable to view all other LAN devices)
2. Create two VLANs in catalyst 2960s.
3. Create two subnets in Linksys RV-016 to accept two Vlans from catalyst 2960s.
Any experience of configuring RV-016 for the mentioned purpose above?
I bought refurbished Catalyst 2950. I followed all steps(even ip address and subnetmask and ..etc) guided in [URL] no thing happen, my computer doesn't connect internet. I guess switch has no routing.. Before bought that, i thought it is plug and play type. And now having some serious issue which i have to configure via telnet and/or ssh.
Scenario: Two buildings connected with a private leased fiber line, so it does operate as a LAN. There are several subnets and everyone at both buildings needs to be able to access all subnets. However the physical machines on those subnets are building specific:
The majority of the traffic between the subnets is specific to the buildings as well (i.e. most of the traffic is between 10.1 and 10.3 or 10.2 and 10.4).
Currently I have a Catalyst 3560 at Building 1 operating as the single "core" L3 router (and then a variety of switches connected to that). I have another 3560 at Building 2 that I'd like to turn in to the "master" L3 router for the two subnets primarily used by Building 2. In other words, make it so traffic from 10.1 to 10.3 doesn't have to run to building 1 just to get back to building 2.
I've got a basic knowledge of adding VLANs, VLAN interfaces and a static routes. The part that I'm getting confused on is that the Building 1 core router needs to make its default route to the firewall (and on to the internet) but "know" that traffic on vlans 10 and 30 gets sent across the fiber line to the other router. So I'm assuming this gets done with some combination of vlan definitions, vlan interfaces and static ip routes on each router.
I have got a new 48port Cisco catalyst 4948 switch, which I configured as a VTP client and connected to Cisco 3750 which is a VTP Server (this switch is on production network). I connected port g1/0/48 from 3750 to port g1/48 on 4948 through a straight cable and made both ports as trunk port (I also tried through cross cable). The problem is these two switches are not detecting. For testing I connected a PC directly to one of the port on 4948 (making that a switch port) still the LED on switch didn’t glow up. Is there any special command needs to be run on 4948 switches to activate its physical ports?
I have a Cisco Catalyst 2960 series switch. When I connect another switch or a VMWare Esx server on one of the ports, the port blinks for few seconds and then goes off. When I connect a desktop or laptop or a windows server the ports stay led and I can access resources on the network. However, when connect another switch or a vmware esx server, the port is disabled.
What config in the switch can I check to make sure the ports stay on regardless when I connect a desktop / laptop, switch or vmware server?
Imagine I have from customer side SFP-10G-LR GBIC.Then circuit to be deployed is 1310nm, Metro. My question is, if I will receive 100Mbps from such circuit, is this 10 GBIC compatible with 100Mbps? 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver module for SMF, 1310-nm wavelength, LC duplex connector )
I have an interesting problem. I have a 6509 that I'm trying to swap the GBIC on. The switch is already using a GLC-SX-MM GBIC and it is up/up and passing traffic, but we are getting some errors and suspect it may be faulty.
I want to replace the GBIC with one of the identical model - a GLC-SX-MM. It was brand new, never been opened. When the new GBIC is plugged in the link light on the switch goes completely off (not amber) and the port goes into a down/down (not connect) state. There are no messages in the logs at all. It's like it doesn't even see it. If you plug the old GBIC back in then the link comes back up. I tried a different port with the same results.Thinking that the new GBIC may be faulty (even though it was brand new) I tried a second GLX-SX-MM, also new. That one does the same thing.
At that point I thought there might be a problem with that switch, so I tried the GBICs on the other 6509 in that pair. The other 6509 is running the same hardware and software. The GBICs will not work there either. If you move the old, suspected faulty GBIC from 6509-2 to 6509-1 then that it works.
The solution would seem to be that I have two faulty GBICs, but I'm having trouble persuading myself that I have two new ones, straight out of the package, that are both bad. Are there any other things to check on the switch? Here's the pertinent information:

I want to link them using fiber as they are almost 50 meters apart. What connectors should I use and what fiber optic cable can be connected to those connectors.I have found these connectors and cables on internet will these work
I've inherited a network. It looks to have been setup as 10/100 originally, using Netgear FSM726S switches with fibre connecting the switches. The fibre to copper conversion is mainly achieved with 10/100 media convertors rather than GBICs - not sure why - though there are some GBICs in use. Some of the "key" switches have been upgraded to Cisco Catalyst 2960G switches, but nothing else has been touched, so most of the network still runs at 100MB.
The switch has been set to Level 3 Routing. Port 27 has been in use as a Fiber Transceiver with no problems for several weeks. This week I tried connecting a second Fiber Transceiver to Port 28, and it would not work.
Swapped the physical GBIC modules in the ports, and the situation remained exactly the same: Port 27 works, Port 28 would not work.
Connected to the copper-part of the combo Port 28, it immediately connected and worked fine.
Connected an external Fiber Transceiver Box in place of the GBIC in Port 28, and it immediately connected and worked fine.
Swapped the new Fiber jumper (Port 28) with the existing Fiber jumper (Port 27), and the new connection came up immediately and worked fine. The existing connection would not work when connected to Port 28.
By "not working", I am not able to ping across the connection. The link light comes on and blinks. The transmit/receive statistics show as if data is processing on this switch, but on the other side of the Port 28 connection, the switch shows Transmit traffic, but no Recieve traffic.
Im trying to determine the serial number of Gbics already installed and running on a Catalyst 2950 switch. Is there a specific command to do so? There is a command on Catalyst 4506 that gives all info regarding the Gbic ("show idprom interface gi 1/1") Is there something equivalent for 2950?
actually i have problems with the connection between a Cisco 3750 and P750 server, the Cisco Gbic is X2-10G-SR and the card of the server is 10 Gigabit Ethernet-SR PCI Express Adapter, both uses 850 nm wavelength but i cant see link between the two cards, the physical connection is with a fiber cable with a conector SC in the server and LC (cable adapter) in the switch.
i have a cisco switch CISCO Catalyst 2960S 48 GigE, 4 x SFP LAN Base WS-C2960S-48TS-L for this i need a 1GB GBIC Connector. need right GBIC connector module and ather details
I know there are some line cards on the 6500 that do not play well with each other when trying to setup an etherchannel using two different line cards on the same chassis. I always thought it was line cards of different type, i.e. 6400 with a 6700 but these two line cards are exactly the same model with the same code level.
1) Are the error messages below from this incompatibility between line cards and etherchannel creation? 2) How to fix if the answer to #1 is yes? 3) What line cards work with which for etherchannel creation?
I have a Cisco WS-C6513 switch, with a couple of GBIC module cards in it. I am trying to display the part number (or model number) of the modules which are inserted into this module card. How to do that? I don't want to schedule down-time to pull the module(s) - just to read the label! :-)
This shows me info for the "module card": sh module 9 But this doesn't work: sh module 9/6
I am trying to get a C2960-8tc-L linked to a sge2000p via the Gbic ports using GLC-SX_MM gbics but having no luck.Are these compatible and should I need to configure anything?
We have a 6509 Sup2 at our ISP edge with fiber connection to ISP. I am planning on replacing the 6509 either with 7206VXR-GE2 or ASR 1002.
How do I find out what GBIC is installed on my Sup2 right now where Fiber cable is connected?What GBIC/SFP will be compatible for this on 7206VXR or ASR1002?If I use SFP do I need to change the cable connector?
However no matter what I try, it never sees the GLC-SX gbics I have in the TwinGig converter.
PERSW001#sh interfaces status mod 2 Port Name Status Vlan Duplex Speed Type Te2/1 inactive 1 full 10G No X2 Te2/2 inactive 1 full 10G No X2 Te2/3 inactive 1 full 10G No X2
Everything is in the title...When I plug a GBIC adapter on a port, my switch reload automatically..! Is it normal, because I did it during production and It disconnects some users.
I am trying to connect a SF200-48 switch via Mini-GBIC MGBLX1 fibre module to a Cisco 3750 switch with a GLC-SX-MM fibre module installed both running a 1000 Mbps. When connected together they do not enable. Are there compatibility restrictions or is it that the Mini-GBIC modules cannot be used to uplink to a LAN?
Are there any best practices for preventative maintenance on Catalyst Chassis switches. Looking to build a PMI schedule for a customer. Or is there evidence not to perform it at all. Things like re-seating line cards, cleaning fan exhausts, etc.
I connect to my corporate network using Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. Once connected I can no longer print to my LAN attached printer and other local resources. I use the Cisco/Lyncsys E4200 router on my LAN and can re-connect to the storage on the local LAN by setting up Port Forwarding of port 21 and MS Windows FTP folder sharing. However, I can't seem to connect to a Terminal Services client by forwarding port 3389. Is there a way to connect to the local LAN after logging into the VPN connection. I can connect to regular HTTP/HTTPS sites and most other type of connectiins, just not my own local resources.
Since I am a collector of all things Cisco, I picked up a Catalyst 5505 switch today. It has two supervisor engines in it, a card with 12 fiber ports in it, and two 24 port cards in it. I am trying to console into this thing, but I am not having any luck. I have Googled it and some threads say it uses a normal straight through cable and other threads say it uses the normal Cisco rollover cable. I tried going both routes but no luck?
I have 2x6500s series catalyst core switch. i configurated vss. all them are working normal. but i have one problem. some of my servers link is down sometimes. I configurated server links as etherchannel.at etherchannel not both of links down only one link down.this modules i used to connect servers to core switch. modules 3 and 7 slot.
