Cisco WAN :: 1921 - Connect Switches Via Fiber / How To Configure HWIC
Oct 30, 2011
we bought the Cisco 1921 ISR with the HWIC-1GE-SFP to get a router that would be able to connect via fiber to our switches. I called Cisco and their reps recommended this router/HWIC pair to me.
I have got the basic configuration out of the way and I have discovered my router with CCP, now I would like to know how I can configure this HWIC. I have the SFP(GLC-SX-MM= ) installed correctly and it is connected to our test switch via an LC/LC cable, but when I do 'show ip interface" all ports are down except the one my workstation connects directly to the router with (gigabit0/1).

I have a stack of 6 switches and I want to add another over the gbit connector using fiber. I already connected but I can acces the network from the new switch. I don't have any issues on my Stack all resources are available Do I need to do some special setup or connection to enable this? Can be stacked like the others? I already usen the 2 stacking port can i Add another switch?

I'm looking for a HWIC card that will support SC fiber connections for a 2811. I know of the HWIC-1GE-SFP but this one only support the LC connections.

I have an interesting problem. I've configured a site to site VPN connection between these two devices. I am using the CDMA card as the primary and only outside connection on the 1921. What happens is that by default the cellular connection is offline. When traffic is generated internally from that network to the concentrator side of this scenario the cellular connection goes online and builds the tunnel, no problem. However, I cannot initiate the tunnel from the concentrator side. I think what i need is a way to force the cellular connection to always be on, and if it fails to come back online.

We have been facing a problem at my company ! We have a Cisco Router 1921 with one HWIC-4ESW in trunking with a RuggedCom switch RSG2100.When I use the GigabitEthernet port to make a trunk, I create 2 sub-interfaces (one for each Vlan) and configure the Port on Switch as Trunk, the inter-VLan routing works with no problem.But now I need to use this configuration using the HWIC-4ESW on Router, and I can't do this work. I try creat interface Vlan for each vlan, and try creating the VLans at Router Vlans database, but no way. At router I enter in interface and try to do the switchport trunk command to add a Vlan, but doesn't work.

Does Cisco 1921-SEC/K9 support HWIC-4ESW ? I require 4 x 10/100 Ethernet ports
If yes how many ? are there any drawbacks if i use this module instead of a switch?

We have a stack of 2960S, and have a new client that wants to connect via diverse fibre to both switches(From 2 switches on there side). We currently run MST and client is (currently) running PVRST. The 2 links will be trunks (With the same ~5 vlans running over both)
Our "standard" trunk config is:
switchport trunk allowed vlan 228,229,265-268
switchport mode trunk
mls qos trust dscp
storm-control broadcast level 20.00
storm-control action trap
no cdp enable
spanning-tree bpdufilter enable
spanning-tree guard root
So after recommendations on what is needed to avoid L2 loop, and to ensure we force one trunk port to be the "primary" for those vlans, and the the other trunk port to be "backup"?

We have a project in which we are using 34 Cisco SG200-18's each with a MGBLX1 (LC Single Mode Fiber) SFP mini-GBIC.All the fiber's come back to one building where we must "bridge" all 34 fiber connections. What hardware should be used to accomplish this? A L2 switch? For example, a 12 port SFP Switch with Fiber SFP's accepting the first 12 fiber connections, then other switch with SFP for the next 12 and so on, until there is a overall capacity of 36 and having patch cables between the 3 switches?
what cisco or non cisco hardware would work with these SF200-18's to accomplish this?

I tried to configure a 2920 with a WIC=HWIC-1CE1T1-PRI. In the serial 0/0/0:23 I set the isdn switch type to primary-ni2c. When I then exit configure mode and show interface se0/0/0:23 the switch type has been changed to primary-ni. Is this normal?

I've been collecting information on principles of SHDSL connection. I have found plenty of examples on how to configure only one SHDSL link. Very soon I'm going to the site to install two independent SHDSL links in Cisco 2811 which has one Cisco HWIC-2SHDSL module, so I can route one type of traffic through one connection and another type of traffic through another. Both SHDLS links have static IP addresses and probably different VPI/VCI values. how to install two SHDSL links into one HWIC-2SHDSL module, set one value for VPI/VCI on one link and another value for VPI/VCI on another link, also set one IP address on one link and another IP adddress on another link?

Is there a way to configure a 28xx series router with a HWIC-AP card as a wireless client instead of a wireless access point? There isn't a network drop in the location that I need to place a router, but there is an active Access Point that reaches the area.

I am trying to configure a newly installed HWIC-4ESW on a 2811 router to bridge to the FE 0/0 interface. Currently, I have a cheap switch connected to FE 0/0 which in turn connects to all the phones, however now I just want to connect all the phones to the HWIC and have it internally bridge to FE0/0 for the connectivity to CME, etc.

I have successfully set up a VLAN on my primary switch which is an SGE2010. I have 3 other switches is other buildings connected in series. The next in line is another SGE2010 and then a SLM2024 and an SGE2010. Each are connected with Fiber and I'm not sure how to set up the switches so that the router controlling VLAN 2 will push IP addresses to the clients on that VLAN and allow internet access. We're using it as a guest VLAN for our customers to have internet access. I have those GBIC ports set up as trunks right now except for the SLM2024...I'm not quite sure how to set that up. The VLAN is set up on each switch exactly the same though.

Trying to replace 3Com Superstack II Switches (3C16980) with 100Base-FX Modules (3C16970) with a Cisco solution. Existing Fiber connector in Network closet on both ends is an SC connector (picture attached). What Modules, adapter cables do I need to connect to an SRW2048 switch at one end an SRW2024 switch at the other? Will this solution provide a Gigabit connection over the Fiber ?
I am looking at using SRW2048-K9-NA with MGBSX1 module at one closet and SRW2024-K9-NA with MGBSX1 module in the other closet at the other end of the Fiber cable.
I found an adapter cable that will convert an SC male to an LC Male and it looks like it will work but I have no experience with fiber. I attached a picture of this adapter as well. It is listed on line as - 1ft Fiber Optic Adapter Cable LC (Male) to SC (Female) Multimode 62.5/125 Duplex

We’ve just begun the transition from our old 3Com switches to new Cisco switches and we’ve encountered interoperability problems as we start the transition.Goal: Extend 6 VLANs (each representing an IP subnet) via fiber from a port on the 3Com 5500G-EI to a port on the Cisco SG-300-52
We assign an IPV4 address to the Cisco SG-300-52. We can successfully ping/web-manage at this address if we do a temporary copper jumper from a 3Com switch to the Cisco. IP address is in the subnet assigned to VLAN7•2) At the 3Com side, the fiber port is set as “hybrid” and is passing VLAN 1 untagged; VLANs 3-8 tagged•3) At the Cisco side, the fiber port is set as “trunk” and is defined with VLAN 1 untagged and VLANs 3-8 tagged.
If I try to change the management interface on the CISCO from VLAN 1 to VLAN 7 (as I would on the 3Com), I lose connectivity over the temporary copper connection•B)
If I remove the temporary copper jumper from the Cisco (keeping the “working” management IP address) and create the fiber link between the 2 switches, I lose connectivity to the management IP , If I set the 3Com fiber port to “access” and make the fiber connection, I can ping the management interface – but of course, I can’t pass the other VLANs to untagged access ports on the Cisco – and it has the fun side benefit of messing with IP management settings on other 3Com switch stacks attached to the 5500G-EI. However, it does demonstrate that we can get network traffic communicating over the fiber link between the 2 switches.
How I can proceed to a) have the management IP address in the IP subnet defined on VLAN 7 while passing the other VLANs to access ports on the Cisco? BTW, I’m a networking neophyte (it’s a very small part of my job and I do it infrequently), so I prefer to use GUI management to CLI options, although I can perform CLI configuration if presented with the right commands.

Company I work for just moved into a new location. We have two data closets which are patched as independent entities, with no Ethernet tie connection. These closets are roughly 100 feet apart.
There is a fiber connection that runs between both closets, that the previous tenant used to connect the switches. I have placed a Cisco 2960 switch in each location, and added one mini SFP gbic's to each switch. After attaching both sides, neither light up. I do a sh inter gig1/0/49 on each and shows 'down down' (not admin down).
What is the trick on getting these to communciate, do I need to configure these ports, and are they supposed to light up?
What I am trying to accomplish is to get the one closet that is completely cut off, communicating by logically stacking, or 'daisy chaining' via fiber.
I turned off the lights and popped the fiber out, and I do see a faint red light (I did not look straight into it), so I think the fiber is active.

the incoming fiber on ports 9 and 10 are on different subnets. I need to map the subnet on port 9 to ethernet ports 1-9 and port 10 is on its own. I have the device IPv4 address set to a static address on the same subnet as port 9. I don't know if there's an easier approach, but I attempted to map the ports using vlans (See the attached screenshots). We don't yet have the fiber link established for port 10, so I haven't had a chance to test, but I wanted to confirm that my configuration is sound. I used the default vlan for ports 1-9, because I need to manage through that subnet. I added vlan 10 for port 10, but I don't know if I have it configured correctly.

When it comes to fiber optics my knowledge is very limited. All I know is that they can carry data at high bandwidth for a long range at blazing speeds etc.My boss has asked me to link several buildings to the network and I am led to believe that joining them through fiber optics to be best since we are expecting a lot of data traffic between.I have done the normal RJ-45 networking with Gigabit networking in my organisation but need your assistance on how to join each of the buildings through fibre optics.So far this is my plan.Draw up the fiber optic lines from the main building to each building.All the buildings have Gigabit Cat6e cabling and network in each.I am planning on using a single mode media converter to convert the end of the fibre optic to the normal RJ45 connector and plug it to each switch at each of the ends of the fiber optic cable .Am I going in the correct direction?I don't even know the gadgematics required except for the cables them selves, crimping tools, the media converter. There is about 300-400 metres in between of each building from the main building.Also, I believe that we need to create cross over cables as in the normal way we do in connecting 2 switches. Your input is very valuable to me.

We have a scenario where we want to connect 14 access layer 2950 switches to Core switch 3750 via optical fiber in a LAN.What model of 3750 Switch should we use to tackle this situation.I have learnt that WS-C3750X-24P should support it.Isnt it?
Can we use optical fiber SFP module to connect 2950 switches to core switch?Does Cisco 2950 Switch support optical fiber sfp module?

I need to connect 4 Floor Building with 4 Cisco 2960 - 48 ports switch each other and it needs to be through a fiber. So all PCs connected to each switch would reach the LAN/WAN from the other switch. (attached is the image here with)
I see that the 2960 has 2 SFP ports each port of each switch should connect each other or how?
My simple question is:
1. What cable / patch code I have to use = Single-mode or Multimode? ( distance for each switch will not more then 25 mts)
2. Do I have to use SFP or SFP+ module?
3. What kind of SFP/SFP+ module I have to use = Single-mode or Multimode?
4. What kind of connector should patch code have = LC / SC or ?
5. How to connect each switch with redundancy like ...each switch should be interconnected with each other or I have to choose Cisco 3750G which has more then 2 SFP ports (option#1 & opetion#2 = attached here with) =
Best practice for connecting cisco switches over fiber.

I'm working with a customer who has an SGE2000P and a Catalyst 2960 to setup and configure a single mode fiber link. The SGE2000P has an MFELX1 fiber GBIC and the 2960 has a GLC-LH-SMD GBIC. When I have the customer plug in his fiber, there is a power light that comes on on the MFELX1 GBIC. Neither GBICs/switches show that a link or activity is occurring, but the presence of that light makes me think that they are connecting somehow. Are these two switches/GBICs compatible?
