Cisco Switching/Routing :: Catalyst 3560x SFP Fiber To Media Converter
Sep 21, 2012
I'm trying to upgrade some of the netwotk in my workplace.To do this I have istalled a 24port Catalyst 3560X switch.I'm looking to link it to my exsisting network via fibre.
I spoke to a local Cisco supplyer who recomended the above switch and an Allied Telesis Media converter.
I cannot seem to get the Allied Telesis unit to connect to the cisco switch.I have proved the fibre link by connecting 2 AT Media converters over the fibre.Do I have to enable something on the Catalyst switch or is the AT Media converter not compatible with the Catalyst switch?

choose the right media converter for my private LAN? My budget is very less & I found TP-Link products fits in my budget.I got confused by looking at 2 models & don't know which one to choose. TP-Link's MC220L and MC210CS. these two models are same but with different I/O Ports(connectors) for Fiber Cable connection?

Do you have the ability to setup DHCP servers on this layer 3 switch? I know I can with my old 3550 switch. Want to upgrade and make sure this model supports setting up dhcp servers on it.

I want to connect a Cisco small business switch (sf302-8) to a Cisco catalyst 2960S over a multi mode fiber. The transceiver I am using in the catalyst is a GLC-SX-MM. I presume in the SF302, I will have to use a MGBSX1. My question is "are these transceiver compatible with each other and if not, is there a transceiver that will suit both pieces of hardware?

we have multiple Video production networks, with Video servers (AVID Unity ISIS) connected by 10GE fiber links to 4948-10GE switches. On almost every of these switches, I see more or less "Sequence-Err" interface errors. We do not currently have a known problem because this, and no other errors are seen. But I would like to understand the error, and therefore I would like to find out, what a sequence error means, what the cause is, and what the impact (to a frame) is?
By the way, it is well-known that the ISIS Video server does generate very excessive UDP data bursts. Maybe this matters? On Cisco doc I did not find an answer. The document "Troubleshooting Switch Port and Interface Problems" does unfortunately not refer to "sequence-err".
Here is an example output:
WS-C4948-10GE#sh int t1/49

I'm looking for a good managed (i.e. a unit with stats and troubleshooting capabilities) fiber-to-copper media converter. I know there's plenty of "dumb" media converter choices out there, but was hoping to get one that has a console conn or the like to troubleshoot any possible issues. I'm converting between 50nm multi-mode fiber with an SC connector to 1000-bT copper.

We recently switched two of our branches to point-to-point fiber connections to our corporate office. Previously they were using MPLS connections. For branch A, the ethernet handoff of the fiber is connected directly to a Catalyst 3750 gigabit port. That port has no configuration on it. The other end of that fiber is connected to a gigabit port on the 3750 switch at our corporate office. That port is configured with an IP address that is within the subnet of branch A, and is operating at layer 3 due to the no switchport command.
Branch B currently has a Cisco Express 500 ethernet port (with no configuration on it) connected to the fiber hand off there. At first we setup a port on the 3750 at our corporate office that is connected to Branch B via the fiber in the same manner. This resulted in us receiving DCHP leases at Branch B from Branch A. Obviously not desired. Now we have the port on the corporate 3750 that is connected to Branch B's fiber configured with switchport vlan 64. I also configured interface vlan 64 on that switch at corporate with an IP address from the branch B subnet. We then set that IP address as the default IP address for devices at Branch B.
We are having trouble with both an ATM and a phone system not communicating properly at Branch B. At Branch A we are experiencing the same oddity with the phone system, but the ATM is able to communicate fully. At branch B, when configuring a Windows Vista or Windows 7 laptop with a static IP address that is known to be available, you get transit failures when trying to ping. Essentially everything seems to be able to route fine, but some traffic even after a full tcp hand shake seems to not transmit properly.
When you configure a point-to-point fiber connection from a layer 2 switch at a location without a router to a location with a Cisco Catalyst 3750 switch as the endpoint, what is the best way to configure both sides?
Currently we only have vlan 64 configured on the port mentioned on our switch at corporate, and then the switch at Branch B is essentially operating as an unmanaged switch at the moment with all ports in vlan 1.

I am little confused with all these SFP types.
Can I use GLC-LH-SM, GLC-LH-SMD and SFP-GE-L with Twingig converter module? When I used Cisco configuration tool, the only option is GLC-LH-SMD for 1000BASE-LX.

To do that I would like to be able to sniff the traffic traversing our 7k. However, as the 7k doesn't support remote span we have to span locally. This means that I have to connect a pc to the Nexus and sent the span output to that port. However, our 7K is only equipped with N7K-M108X2-12L modules, which contains X2 10G ports. I found the CVR-X2-SFP10G X2 to SFP+ convertor module, but I wonder whether this supports a 1G copper SFP. If it doesn't it would be wasteful to buy one. On the page concerning the module I only found 10G fiber sfp's which are supported.

I have a 4506-E with the following supervisor module:WS-X45-SUP6-E
It currently has 2 TwinGig converter modules installed. I want to upgrade the 2 1Gb connections to 2 10Gb connections. First I took out the converter modules and installed 2 X2-10Gb-SR's, but it didnt recognize ("No X2 GBIC")???
Then, I put the converter module back in and put two SFP-10GB-SR's in them, but they don't recognize either...???? I"m running IOS
12.2(54)SG1.
According to the 10Gb matrix, they should work:
Catalyst 4500 series

I have made a routed port on 3560G Switch and defined a pool 172.28.4.62 255.255.255.192 and connected to E1 converter RAD (4E1 to 4 FE) the E1 media is through Microwave on the other end same E1 converter is connected through layer 2 switch and defined a pool as of routed port configured in 3560G switch.
The port is generating lot of giants and after a while it also distrubs other routes ( Port1 to Port 16), configured with Vlan11 and port 22 as routed port.I have checked the routed port through wireshark the maximum frame size is 1514 and configured the MTU to 1514, giants are not showing any more but after 10 to 12 hours switch gets hang. Either to shut the port or to reload the switch to get switch and other layer routes to be normal.
I have checked speed and duplex settings same as E1 converter. Full duplex. 100 Speed. Why switch is not behaving normal. If I shutdown the routed port it is normal.
1. interface GigabitEthernet0/22

My management has tasked me to give them a high level overview of the different switching we can choose for our new building.
This is what I know so far.4 Closets, each closet has 450 ports,One MDF room that is will contain one UCS Chassis and a Nimble iSCSI SAN.
I am working on the spreadsheet and it looks like this (Not totally filled):

For the MDF I would like to use 2 Nexus 5548's with FEX's, and the layer 3 daughter board. For the IDF's I was thinking of two 4010's.

I have seen a similar post here from last year about a 10/half connection, but this is different. I have a provider using a 2950 switch (they left CDP on so we can see it). And we have to be set to 10/full to make this connection (as you know 10/half connected here would be or is horrible). I have had this connection running on my 2921 router w/o issue but when I connect it to my 3560X, then I get no link light (shows down/down, not connected).
What else to know about what has been tried: Connecting link to switch with switch set to auto/auto (sp/dup). Speed is 10 (as it should be) but of course w/o the other side pulsing the voltage to know what to auto to, it defaults to half so this is unacceptabel, but, I do get a link light and can pass traffic, it's just a horrible experience.
Also tried the same setting speed and duplex vs. auto disco speed and duplex on other ports of the switch, no difference, same results. Also different patch cables, same results.
My current work around is to connect the providers 2950 (10/full) to my 2921 router @ (10/full) with a BVI to another port on the router which continues on to my 3560X at 1G/full. And this works just fine. Here's more info from my 3560X and the providers 2950:

I have a 3560X switch with interfaces 36-48 on the same LAN. All interfaces are switchports. Hosts on 38, 39 and 40 are multicast senders: all sending to the same single multicast address. Hosts on 36 and 37 are receivers, having joined that multicast group. I created an SVI for the LAN and put it in ip pim passive. (That is the only PIM mode allowed for an SVI with my IOS.) Show ip igmp snooping groups shows that 36 and 37 are the only interfaces in this group. I attach a laptop to interface 42 and Wireshark, and the laptop is receiving the multicast traffic. The laptop does not join the group. I expect it would not see the traffic.

last week we have changed the connection of small town from licensed radio to direct fiber with clasic 1gig sfp.After that we have connected the new fiber , we can see 5 min outages of customer internet connection. If we are conncted on the same subnet anywhere on network, we can ping the customer all the time. But if we try to ping the customers public IP it is each 5 min for 5 min unreachable. I have tryed to sho logg in all switches but there are no mesasages. I just see, when comunication have lost, the MAC and IP of customer will disapear from routers ARP tabbel. What is going on?When i enter sho mac address-table i can see customers MAC address in all switches. There are exactly 5 min outages. 5min it runs ok, 5 min outage and it repeats agan.
I looks like the swith blocks the ARP packets from customers to their default gateway.The routers are connected to catalyst 3560x lan base ios, This switch is connected to another 3560x lan base ios and it is connected with fiber to ME3400 where are customers connected.

I have 3560X-24T-S switches with IP Services loaded at remote sites that I have been having troubles with. Originally, they had IOS 12.2(58)SE1 on them. I have up to four diverse paths via point-to-point microwave at the remote sites. The Microwave equipment is by Microwave Networks and is a Prodeus M series which Ethernet support. The original issue manifested itself as hardware loopback errors on some of the ports that were connected to the microwave links.
My experience in the past has been that when a hardware loopback error occurred it is usually a bad switch port. In this case however, if I disconnected all of the microwave Ethernet links and rebooted the switch and then connected the Ethernet connections to the microwave links again, everything works fine. No hardware loopback errors. That is, until the next switch reboot. Then the hardware loopback error would return. Interestingly, it would come back on different ports connected to the microwave links every time. So if a reboot was done without disconnecting the microwave Ethernet links the hardware loopback error would change from one microwave link to another after each reboot.
I then went through and read the lengthy release notes for IOS version 15.0(2)SE and found several fixes that I thought could fix my issue. So I downloaded it and updated a couple of the offending switches (not all of them were having this problem). After going through the second update required to resolve the 'open file error' that happens going between 12.2(58)SE1 and 15.0(2)SE the problem seemed to be resolved on the offending switches. So, I went ahead and updated the IOS on all of the switches with point-to-point microwave connections.
I now have one switch that was updated that is crashing and rebooting continuously when the Ethernet links for the point-to-point microwave are connected. Again, if I disconnect all the microwave links and reboot, it comes up fine ands stays fine when the microwave links are connected back up. It will work fine until the next reboot and then the crash and reboot loop starts over again. Below is a portion of the putty log when the crash occurs:
