XG7100 with 1g sfp
-
Hi all.
Ive got 2 XG7100s which I want to connect to a couple of Cisco 2960x switches.
The switches SFPs are 1gb.
I have bought these spesific sfps for use in both my XG7100 and cisco switches:
https://www.fs.com/uk/products/11774.html
I am using OM4 patch cable.
When the module is inserted in the XG7100 and patched correctly directly to the switch, the interface shows as up, with the speed set to1000baseSX <full-duplex,rxpause,txpause>
However the switch doesnt show as connected at all.
The Switch shows up asStatus down
Protocol downI'm confident that the cable and sfps are, in themselves, ok, as when I connect the two switches together using the sfps and patches, they work fine, with each sfp port coming up no problems.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers! -
Try running
ifconfig ix0 -vvvmand the same for ix1.
Make sure it is 'seeing' the modules correctly and the incoming optical signal power.Some devices require setting 1G fixed link speed to get link in a 10G port.
