Cisco Switching/Routing :: Does CVR-X2-SFP10G Converter Support 1000Base-T SFPs

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 wonder if Cisco 1000BASE-T SFP can work with CAT-6 cable. I believe it can. But in the Cisco datasheet, it only mentions that “The 1000BASE-T SFP operates on standard Category 5 unshielded twisted pair copper cabling of up to 100m (328 ft) link length”.
Unforunately I have not been able to find any IOS version requirement for a brand-new 1000BASE-LX10 SFP (MGBLH1) in the internet.
The IOS version in use on this stack is:Cisco IOS Software, C3750 Software (C3750-IPBASEK9-M), Version 12.2(55)SE6, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
[Code]...
I have searched for this error and beside a third-party module (this is a Cisco SFP) the reason could be that newer IOS version is required. Before I'll request an IOS update to the stack with our internal team, IOS version required for this module to run properly and maybe a link to an overview to lookup such requirements in the future.
We are looking to purchase some addidtional 48 port swithches for our network. Currently we have the following swtiches setup
2 of 3750 POE-24 (These two are stacked and have our servers plugged into them). Currently no SFP modules.
3 of 3560 POE-24 (These each have two 1000BASE-T SFP modules in them, with UTP connecting back to the 3750 switches above)
We are looking to get 2 of 48 port C2960S-48TS-L switches with two 1000BASE-T SFP modules in each that then will also connect back to the 3750 switches.
I had a few of question about this:
Will the cisco lite version (rather than the more expensive cisco base software) support the 1000BASE-T SFP modules?
The 1000BASE-T SFP modules, are they auto-config? Have you the link for commands we can use, if required?
We don't have budget for stack modules, apart from that would you recommend we change anything with the new setup?
I've been asked whether we can use HP-branded 10G SFP+s (P/N 455885-001) in Nexus 2Ks to provide 10G connections to HP C-Class enclosures. We've used HP-branded twinax, and Cisco-branded SFP+s and twinax, but we have a raft of HP 10G SFP+s sat in a store room gathering dust and now we want to save some money by not having to buy the Cisco parts to match.
My inherited network has a Cisco Catalyst 4506 with a WS-X4124FX–MT fiber card that connects to twelve Cisco 2950 switches over 62.5 micron multimode fiber at 100 Mbps. I do not know my run lengths (or even where the conduits run), but the furthest switches are well over a thousand feet from the server room. Any appropriate test equipment to provide this information soon.
We are looking at upgrading the main switch to a Catalyst WS-C4507+E with two WS-X4712-SFP+E cards and the closets to Cisco 2960S-48TD-L switches. Assuming this is a reasonable move, my question is about choosing the appropriate SFP’s for our current and future needs.
I am aware that 62.5 micron multimode fiber is the least favorable for extended lengths, but I will not be in a position to replace it for at least a year. If I purchase 10 Gbps modules, like the SFP-10G-SR or SFP-10G-LRM, can they “throttle down”, either automatically or by setting a parameter, to communicate at slower speeds over distances that exceed their 10 Gbps maximum link lengths on multimode fiber?
Are the LC SFPs interchangeable with the 3560 V2 POE switchThe P/N number we have on the LC SFPs are 30-1301-04.Will this P/N number suit bothe the 2960-S and 3560 switches
We have bought four Cisco 3750X-24 Switches with IP Base license for 2 offices (2 switches at each office). The offices are connected with 1 fiber pair and 2 CWDM units. We have 6 CWDM SFP (2x 1470nm, 2x 1490nm and 2x 1510nm). All the switches are up and running with 1 problem: the SFP's in the SFP+ position didn't work.
Only the gigabit port 1/1/1 and 1/1/3 are connected. Gigabit 1/1/2 stay disconnected. I already did some test with other SFP's and labels. Do I need to disable the ten gig ports in the configuration?
I need to extract the serial numbers of SFPs which are plugged in a SG-200-18.For information, SG-200 doesn't have a CLI ... only a Web GUI.I just find this information : [URL]
I need to replace an older 3560 with a new 2960-S and am wondering if the SX SFPs I already have will be compatible with the 2960-S. [code] I cannot find any way to get the part numbers of the SFPs.
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.
Got a question for 4900m with TwinGigi Converter. I bought couple TwinGigi Convert thinking to use it on fix module ports (8 * 10G ports on 4900m ten1/1 to 1/8). I follow TwinGigi configuration guide [URL]however, I am getting Invalid commands on hw-module:
Switch(config)#hw-module module 1 ? logging Logging Switch(config)#hw-module module 2 ? logging Logging power Enable/disable power to module in specified slot

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?
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 #(continued) #WS-X45-SUP6-EWS-X4606-X2-E ##X2-10GB-CX4X2-10GB-LX4 #X2-10GB-LRX2-10GB-SRX2-10GB-ERX2-10GB-LRM [Code]....
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 no switchport ip address 172.28.4.62 255.255.255.192 flowcontrol receive on end
However no matter what I try, it never sees the GLC-SX gbics I have in the TwinGig converter.

Does the nexus 7010 support virtual switching yet? All of the posts I have found from about a year ago say that it is going to be supported, but there were no dates listed. I heard the same thing from Cisco a while back, but haven't followed up with it.If it is supported finally are there any configuration guides available for it?
I have two desktop PCs connected via PRO/100VE LAN and am about to replace one of these with a desktop that has Integrated 10/100/1000Base-T. Will the two machines be able to communicate? One machine will use XP Home and the new machine Windows 7.
Coincidentally when i tried to configure router 877 as an adsl router i found that a vlan configuration is included. my question is what is the benefit of using vlans in router ??? i studied that we use it in switches for the purpose of network enhancment from broadcasts and netwrok segmentation. why we use vlans in routers ?
Does the 4500 support VSS (Virtual Switching System) ? On the official product overview page it says: 1.6 Terabits capacity with Virtual Switching System (hardware-ready)What means Hardware ready ? Does it mean that it supports VSS in the same manner as the 6500 ? The reason I'm asking this question is that I didn't find any info on the Internet about this. We would like to upgrade our network by interconnecting the 2 sites with Layer 2 redundant links (Layer 2 extension), but I'd like to use the both links in a load-balancing manner, which can be a real pain in the *** with STP. The choice is between 4500 and 3750 stackable core switches. The 6500s are very expensive.
when the VSS will be supported on Catalyst Supervisor Engine 7-E or 7-LE and on Catalyst 4500-X?And does VSS will require Enterprise license ? or the IP base will be enaugh?
I have a 3560G switch with c3560-advipservicesk9-mz.122-46.SE and 2 routers. The switch has vlans defined. I want to route all traffic on vlan 25 out of one of the routers exclusively. Here is what I have attempted:
-Set the SDM template to routing & reload -Define an access-list for the v lan traffic -Define the route-map -Apply the route-map to the vlan interface
When I attempt the last step I receive the following syslog error:
%PLATFORM_PBR-3-UNSUPPORTED_RMAP: Route-map RM_IMDGuest not supported for Policy-Based Routing
Also, the route-map is removed from the vlan interface after this error is thrown. Im 99% confident that PBR is supported on this switch (am I wrong?). Here is the relevant show output:...
access-list 125 permit ip 192.168.25.0 0.0.0.255 any route-map RM_IMDGuest permit 10 match ip address 125 set ip next-hop 192.168.5.3 [code]....
We purchased ME 3400 switch and trying to implement it. But its quite surprising in the ME3400 configuration guide that the switch does not support VTP. When I checked in Feature navigator under feature "VTP" i could see ME3400 supports VTP. But when i get into CLI of ME3400, i am not getting any option of configuring VTP. I could see in some sites VMPS is supported in ME3400.
I would like to confirm the following: 1. Does VTP support present in ME3400 or not? If not, what would be the reason that it is not included in ME3400. 2. If not what is the alternative.
Network is already running VTP of around 30 switches.
Does Cisco SG200-50 50 port gigabit smart switch have support for SNMP ? I have updated the firmware and still can not find any option for snmp.Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App.
