View 4 RepliesI have a customer who is having some issues with 5m passive HP twinax cables, 537965-001, with a Chelsio 10G NIC. Aside from NIC driver issue, if NX-OS recognizes this SFP+, should it be expected to work in a 5020 running 4.2(1)N1(1)? Whether Cisco has certified passive HP twinax cables? I have included output to 'transceiver details' to a Cisco twinax and the HP (WL GORE) cables.

Can you use twinax cables to connect two Nexus 7010 switches for VPC peer link? They would connect on F2 modules and have Sup2 on the chassis.

Unfortunately, it appears after more careful reasearch that my specific model 2960S's are not directly compatible. , can I force these 10GB SFPs down to 1GB and get them to work with my switches or do I need to return and repurchase?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are looking forward to implement IBM BladeCentre Swiches connectivity with Nexus 2k module.I would like to brief you about my network over as follows:
Coreswitch : 6513 ( Layer 3 switch + Spanning Tree root)
Nexus 5010 : Layer 2 switch
Nexus 2k 10G ports based module.
Currentl Solution : we want to connect the IBM Blade Switches (4) as demonstrated in the attached diagram which will be connected to Nexus 2k module as Ether-channel Access port.
Initially we been proposed by our vendor with this design and Now vendor is recommending us to connect the Blade switch etiher to Nexus 5k switch or directly to 6513 core-switches instead of Nexus 2k modules as they say Nexus 2k modules are only to connect the Edge devices .
We do not have ports available on Nexus 5010 to connect the cables from IBM Blade Centre Switches. Otherthan that, incase if we go ahead and connect the IBM Blade switches as access ether-channel access port with Nexus 2k module what are consequences we have to face realted Spanning tree or any other.
Recently I have faced following problem in my office, We have purchased two new Dell Server Power Edge R910 with built-in 10GB FC Network card. Service tag of this two servers are given bellow.
1. 7D94C2S
2. 6D94C2S
You can can Check specification of this two server from dell website{ URL}
We have two CISCO switch and model is given bellow:
Brand: CISCO
Model: WS-C3560E-12SD
We want to connect server to switch through FC cable and both switch have SPF module. But when we connect server to switch, link do not establish even switch and server port light become off.
Then we have tested the following things:
1. Connect server to server through FC cable, it is okay.
2. Connect switch to switch through same FC cable, it is okay.
I don't understand why it is not working.

I am trying to install SFP-GE-T module on Nexus 5548UP Switch, but is giving the ‘SFP validation Failed’ error. The details of the switch is given below
Model : N5K-C5548UP-FA
The interface is configured with speed 1000 before inserting the module, still we are getting the same error. PFA logs for more details We have 8 Nos of SFP-GE-T modules , all are giving same error. We tried to insert the module on onboard as well as expansion module.
The same module is working fine on Cisco 3750X-24T-L Switch As per the Hardware installation guide , SFP-GE-T transciever is supported on N5K platform. Please extend your support in configuring SFP-GE-T module on N5K platform? We tried with SFP-GE-S module on the same switch , and the same is found working fine.
I am having trouble updating the epld image on the 10gb Module of Nexus 7k. we have two nexus and two 10gb module. Tried the other one and it worked fine. its jsut the first one that has problems with the epld image. i have tried on both the nexus on two different slots and still the same error.
I get the following error:
Chain connectivity is broken while upgrading the FPGA. (Error Number : 36)
Trying to find some documentation as to whether there are any other steps for inserting this new module in our N7K. We have 2 blades in already and 2 Sups in 5 & 6. I'm assuming its like the 6500s, where we just slide it in and the OS configures the global parms for it and the default VLAN.

Can 10Gbase SFP+ module support 1GB traffic on a Nexus 5596T.
The module for 10Gb is Cisco SFP-10G-SR. My scenario is connecting the 10GB SFP+ module to an access switch 1GB fiber uplink, will this work?
I want to prioritize egress voice traffic across a trunk terminated on an F1 module, N7K-F132XP-15. I am unsure about the setup; according to the "show interface capabilities" F1 interfaces support 8 egress queues, while the Nexus QoS documentation provides configuration referencing 4 queues. In addition, I am not clear about the relevance of network-qos on F1 queueing setup.

View 2 Replies View Relatedwe have a new IBM Bladechassie with two Cisco nexus 4001i switches.I have configured one external port on each nexus and connected them to a cisco 6509 with 1G cisco SFP-modules and MM fibre.Both the nexus and 6509 ports are configured as trunk ports, and set speed to 1000.I see light in the SFP-modules on both devices, and through the fibre. When I connect the devices, the link doesn't come up. No light on the ports, the nexus says "link not connected", and the 6509 says "notconnect". I have tried reconfiguring the ports in many ways, even as accessports, nothing seems to work. If I move the SFP and fibre from the 6509 over to a trunk port on a cisco c2960-24TC-L, the link comes up and everything is working fine. why this work on a 2960 and not my 6509 coreswitch?

I can see several possible scenario's at our site. I have drawn some scenario's on a design. I can't find detailed information on which setup is possible and which is not.

As per my understanding, Cisco Nexus 2232 can only connect to HP c7000 Chassis if we are using a Pass Through Switch in the HP c7000. Cisco Nexus 2232 can only connect to End Hosts and not to a switch. Is there a New Feature added in Nexus 2232, which enables it to connect to a Switch like HP Flex Fabric ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to filter a specific host(s) from my OSPF routiing table on a ASA 5550 (ABR) using LSA prefix lists. However, when I look at the other routers in that area, I notice that ALL LSA type-3's are being removed (10 hosts are now missing from the routing table). I have verified the filter is working on the ABR, but I can't figure why ALL hosts/routes that were coming into the area are now being filtered instead of the specific one that I want to filter out.
Here is the config on the ABR:

The 206.253.180.137 host is actually coming from Area '3'. Am I doing something that is removing all type-3 LSA's?
