10G ports on ASA5585-S10C10XK9

HI,
I'am not able to figure out the datascheet of the above ASA.
I should put on two 10G SFP +
Is there any module I have to add in order to manage that, or is alredy covered by the bundle ?
Let me Know, is very stratecic for me having knowledge about that
Regard Carlo 

Hi,
I'd wait for a Cisco employee answer or someone that has sure knowledge.
We do have 5x ASA 5585-X with SSP20
ASA 5585 has the following ports
- 2 Management interfaces
- 8 GigabitEthernet
- 2 SFP slots
(Im not sure if the other SSPs have maybe more SFP slots?)
To my understanding to get more SFP slots you need another SSP or the IPS module. Doesnt seem to be any module just to provide additional SFP slots which kinda makes things inconvenient sometimes.
To be able to use the 2 SFP slots to provide 10G connection, you need to get license for that. By default they are 1G only.
Then again it could be its already included in the bundle?
As I said I cant give you a specific answer but our ASA 5585-X models with SSP-20 didnt come with the ability to use 10G straight away. Maybe thats included with SSP-40 and SSP-60
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/prod_models_home.html#~tab-c
In our ASA for example the "show version" command shows the following
Licensed features for this platform:
10GE I/O                          : Disabled       perpetual

  • 10g ports with redundancy

    Hi all. I hope this is the right section to post this kind of question.
    Basically I need to know which switch should I buy to achieve the customer's needs.
    Each floor will have 1 x 2960 with 2 10GB uplink to the core switch. The problem is I don't know which switch should I buy acting as a CORE. The customer needs at least 16 x 10G ports for each switch and the core must be redundant in some way. So the 3750 is not an option and I thought about the 4500-x with VSS but actually I'm not sure this is the best idea. Servers will be attached directly to the core switch (I know, this is not the best idea but this is what the customer want to do).
    Thanks for you replies / help
    Regards

    Yes, VSS with the 4500-X is one possibility, as would be the new 6880.
    Or, instead of VSS, you could use a 4500, 6500 or 6807 with dual sups and dual line cards.
    With VSS, your single point of failure is the IOS.  With the (redundant card) chassis, your single point of failure is the chassis, itself.  There's not much of a difference in MTBF.
    Any of the above (or Nexus) would likely work well for you.  Selection depends on your budget and feature requirements.

  • Which switch model for more than 4 10G-Ports?

    we have a little network (100 clients, 1 VMware-Cluster with 2 Hosts, 1 Storage) and we want to replace old switches.
    we want to connect 4 cisco catalyst 2960X to core switch with 10G, and 4 2960X with 1G.
    Core switch is main routing instance for all.
    So we need following features for the core switch:
    - 8 10G-Ports
    - Redundancy
    - Static Routing
    Which is the cheapest model for core?
    Thanks!
    Martin

    I'm not sure if you get it "cheap" ...
    You could use:
    A stack of 2*WS-C3650-48TQ (each has 4*10GE)
    A stack of 2*SG500X-24 (each has 4*10GE)
    one or two SG500XG-8F8T (each has 8*10GE copper and 8*10GE SFP+)
    2) and 3) are from the SmallBusiness line of switches. So option 2) will probably the cheapest.
    Edit: Just looked at the stacking of the 500X. Seems that the 10GE-ports are used for stacking, so you would need four of them to get eicht usable 10GE-Ports. It still could be cheaper then the 3650, but probably not better ...

  • Cisco ASR1001-X SFP-10G-SR: unable to bring 10G port up

    Dear colleagues,
    I have connected a Cisco ASR1001-X 10G port to a 10G port on the Cisco 7606-S.  The SFP on my ASR1001-X is SFP-10G-SR and the SFP on the 7606-S is XENPAK-10GB-LX4. I am using an MMF fibre patching. I am unable to bring the port up. I have a temp license for the ASR 10G port. Is that sufficient to bring the port up?
    I have tried connecting the SFP-10G-SR to a XFP-10G-MM-SR on another ASR but this did not work either.  I am able to connect the XFP-10G-MM-SR to one another and also the SFP-10G-SR  to one another. So there appears to be an issue when I mix the SFPs.
    Can any one help please?

    The SFP on my ASR1001-X is SFP-10G-SR and the SFP on the 7606-S is XENPAK-10GB-LX4. I am using an MMF fibre patching.
    The two fibre optic modules are on different wavelengths so the link won't come up.  

  • ASR1001-X 10G port license

    Hi all,
    I want to order ASR1001-X with license for 10Gbps routing traffic ( FLSA1-1X-5-10G ). I need one 10GE port.
    Do I need to order license FLSA1-BIN-1X10GE to enable 10G port?
    Is there any chance that maybe one 10GE license is included If I upgrade to 10Gbps?
    I know that licenses for 10GE ports are included if I upgrade to 20G:
    "ASR1001-X bulit-in 10GE ports are turned on using port-based licenses. However, if the ASR1001-X is upgraded to 20G, then the two built-in ports are automatically included. Please see Table 37 for the Product Numbers of the port and throughput licenses."
    Regards,
    Aleksandar

    Hi Alex, as you mentioned you would need to order the license to enable the 10G port. as for the inclusion with the 10Gpbs im not sure if this is possible. hope to hear from you soon!

  • Nexus 7010 10G Ports

    As many 10G ports may have a nexus 7010? I read documentation who speaks in some 256 ports, but each module has a throughput of only 80G. This means that I can really only have 64 10G ports because 10G are shared by groups of 4?
    Thanks

    5596's L3 throughput is limited to 160G one way per chassis. However the N7K depends on the type of line card, number of fabric and the fabric speed, which you can said it will increase when Cisco release a newer fabric and line card. With the current M1 line card, the N7K can perfrom 80G one way per line card for L3.
    The F132 line card doesn't support L3, but it supports fabric path. The F1 will rely on the M1 to forward L3 traffic.

  • Can't run form from Form Builder 10g - Port configuration problem?

    Hi,
    I have installed the Database (10.2.0.1.0) and the Developer Suite (10.1.2.0.2) on two Linux machines (Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4 Basic).
    If I enter the frmservlet-URL manually everything seems to be fine.
    In one case I enter http://127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet, in the other http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet; in BOTH cases I get eventually a dark square and the status bar says "Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main started".
    HOWEVER, if I create a simple form with Form Builder and click on the Button with the green traffic light ("Run Form"), the form runs only on the machine where frmservlet listens on port 8890.
    On the other machine (frmservlet configured to listen on port 8889) Firefox pops up, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:32979/6dOrpwghCqnp8PhMT7KVT533m3IaArqFbPqPBOztZXWYSsNy" gets called, and nothing else happens. The screen displays the string "ORACLE FORMS." and the status bar says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...", and it stays like this forever.
    I assume this is a port configuration problem, but I don't have a clue where to start.
    Any suggestions how I should proceed are greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much in advance!

    Hi Frank,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I doublechecked my configuration.
    In the dialog Edit --> Preferences --> Runtime the Application Server URL is set to "127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet".
    However, when I attempt to run the form, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:33140/W2dwbV9eXS2fPkuKlxNhCxFWdEihwDviat2uV7ycrSotqwDN" gets called.
    The screen displays the string "ORACLE FORMS." and the status bar says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...", and that's it.
    I wonder how the port number 33140 got selected. Interestingly, this time it is a different number; last time it was port 32979. In fact, the port number seems to change each time; I tried again and now it is 33189.
    I will now try to set the port number for the frmservlet to 8890.
    I choose Edit --> Preferences --> Runtime and set the application server URL to "127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet".
    I stop the container, open /home/oracle/OraHome_1/j2ee/DevSuite/config/default-web-site.xml and change the port number to 8890:
    <?xml version="1.0" standalone='yes'?>
    <!DOCTYPE web-site PUBLIC "Oracle Application Server 10g XML Web-site" "http://xmlns.oracle.com/ias/dtds/web-site.dtd">

         <!-- The default web-app for this site, bound to the root -->
         <default-web-app application="default" name="defaultWebApp" root="/j2ee" />
    <!-- Do not delete this line. -->
    <web-app application="forms" name="formsweb" root="/forms" />

    <web-app application ="reports" name="web" root="/reports" />
    <web-app application = "reports" name="demo" root="/repdemo" />
         <!-- Access Log, where requests are logged to -->
         <access-log path="../log/default-web-access.log" />
    </web-site>
    I restart the container, start Form Builder, connect to the database, and open my test form.
    When attempting to run the form, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:33437/Pl0n3ky9vmU5z37A7ScBnQhsGwq3jwuzJpgTAKWPMOYIzT8K" gets called (again a new port number, apparently picked radomly within a certain range) and nothing happens: "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...".
    However, when I enter the URL http://127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet I do (eventually, after confirming that I trust the certificate etc.) get a darc rectangle and the status message "Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main started", which tells me that my setup can't be that far off target.

  • Can't install 11g after removing 10g "port in use"

    Trying to install Oracle 11g XE on a Windows Server 2003 machine after uninstalling 10g XE. However, I can't continue in the install process because it won't accept any of the ports I provide for the HTTP port, it claims the port is in use no matter what number I provide. 8082 is what our 10g XE used so I started with that, but 8080, 8081, 8083, or any number I randomly type in all comes back as "in use." I checked with netstat and these ports should all be free. An antivirus is installed but I have disabled it for the install. I'm logged in as the local administrator. Windows Firewall shouldn't be running either, when I try to access the settings it says that the ICS service is not running.
    This issue is eerily similar to an issue someone else had: Win Server 2003 Sp2, 'port 808 is in use' He too was trying to install 11g XE on a Windows Server 2003 machine right after uninstalling 10g XE.
    I'm at the end of my rope here, I really can't think of anything else that could be causing this problem.

    Looks like I figured it out. The installer defaults to HTTP port 8081, which is used by Tomcat on this machine, so I wanted to use 8082. But seeing as the installer claimed the port was in use no matter what number I entered, I had a hunch it might be continually checking 8081 despite me changing the field. Sure enough, after shutting down Tomcat the installer lets me select other ports including 8082. I have no idea if that's actually the reason, but it seems to make sense given what I've seen. Weird.
    Thanks for the help!

    Brief excerpt:
    “VSL-capable interfaces are required to create a VSL port channel. The current modules that support the formation of a VSL port channel are the 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports on the Supervisor Engine 720-10G VSS (VS-S720-10G-3C/XL) and the Cisco 8-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Switching Module (WS-X6708-10G-3C/XL). (Refer to Figure 5.)
    Figure 5. VSL-capable Modules
    These interfaces contain new port ASICs that allow the VSH to be encapsulated on each frame forwarded out of the port and also support the ability to de-encapsulate VSH-tagged frames.”

  • Oracle ApplicationServer 10g Port Conflict Error

    Hi,
    We had installed both the Database & Application Server 10g on a Single Machine When we restart the system & tried to Opmnctl Startall its says no port Available.XML files say port range is 10000- as specified in Oracle AS Installation guide.
    I think it is of Port Conflict can someone help me to resolve.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Viswa

    Wich version and type of OAS you install?
    maybe problem could be
    the listener.
    or ons port.
    if is the first.
    change the listener.ora of the app server, and change the tnsnames.ora
    if is the second
    edit the opmn.xml and change the reques, remote and local port, just ad one to the port.
    Regards.

  • Installing 10G port licenses on 6120, what the crap?

    Got a box of licenses for a 6120 UCS. Have like 40 10GB port licenses. But they are a CD, that has vague documentation on it, and a card with a "Product Authorization Key" on it.
    Cannot figure how under "License Management" to install these. It only offers "Download License" local and remote. Cannot type in a license key. Are these importable via CSV? I see that I can export licenses that way.
    Craig

    Craig,
    Go to here:
    http://www.cisco.com/go/license
    Log in with you CCO ID and enter the PAK (Product Authorization Key) there.  Follow the steps on the site.
    You will then get a .lic file that you upload to the 6120 using the "Download License" option (Local is for the file on your computer, remote is if the file was on a ftp server or a share or something)

  • NX7K VDC: port groups in F2 48-port 1G/10G Ethernet module?

    Have couple of questions about assigning ports on the F2 1G/10G Ethernet module to VDC. Thanks for any help.
    1) Does the newer F2 1G/10G 48-port Ethernet module have port groups as the older 32-port 10G Ethernet module? If so, where can I find information about mapping between ports and port groups?
    2) The older 32-port 10G module has ports in dedicated mode or shared mode due to its 80G bandwidth to the switching fabrid. Is each port of the newer F2 10G module at 10G line rate or still the same as the older 32-port module? I want to make sure the 10G ports for vPC peer link are in line rate.
    Thanks again

    Hi there
    The F2 line card use the SOC (Switch On Chip) architecture where each SOC manages a group of 4 contiguous ports called “Port-Group”
    the port groups on the F2 are broken up into groups of four, 1, 2, 3, 4 are part of port-group1, and then so on down the line in groups of 12 groups
    "12x4= 48 ports "
    For changing the bandwidth and VDC allocation it is highly recommended to use the entire port group using same attribute/VDC
    “N7K-F248 Requires allocation in port groups of four to align ASIC resources”
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/nx-os/virtual_device_context/configuration/guide/vdc_mgmt.html#wp1170127
    the each interface of the F2 is a "10G line rate" which can provide you with up to 480G per line card
    however you need to make sure that you have enough Fabric moduls to support the required bandwidth in the backbend/fabric
    for example example each FAB2 can provide up to 110G per slot so to run the F2 with its full capacity you need 5x FAB2
    hope this helps

  • Cisco 3750X -- 10G uplink - Can be used as access port?

    Dear All,
    I have small question, I am planning for Cisco 3750X with 10G SFP+ service module. I want to know that whether it can be used as Access Ports connecting to server as this is mostly used as uplink port.
    Thank You,
    Abhisar.

    Well if you want to connect anything with 10g to a 3750X, you're limited to using a module with 10g ports. 
    Other than 10g capability on some module cards, something to note, the module ports, I believe, are supported by larger buffers (including the gig module ports).
    As the others have noted, you can use any port for any purpose.  However, if you connect a server to a 10g port, be aware you might start to see drops on your other host (gig) ports as the server will now be able send faster than the host port can receive data.  To minimize this, you might either disable QoS on the switch (providing maximum buffers to all egress traffic) or you might need to tweak buffer resource settings (the default settings often drop some packets, when there are bursts, of default marked packets).

  • ME3600X 1G SFPs on 10G unlicensed ports

    Hello Networkers,
    I wonder if somebody has been working with ME3600X (24xcopper + 2x10G) without the license "ME3600X-10G".
    Is it possible to insert in the two 10G ports 1G SFPs (for example
    GLC-SX-MM) ? I read some posts on the internet about this subject but they are not so clear.
    Thanks a lot
    Andrea

    Okay, in case anyone else stumbles across my post, I've fixed it. Turns out to be a known 'interoperability' issue between the ME3x00X series and the ASR9000.
    Lifted directly from the interoperability guide:
    10GE ports on CISCO ME3600X/3800X operating at 1Gig rate
    On CISCO ME3600X/3800X  the TenGig Ethernet ports can operate at 1 Gig when 1 Gig SFPs are plugged in. In such scenarios additional interoperability commands are required.
    Auto negotiation is disabled by default on Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces in CISCO ASR 9000.
    Auto negotiation is enabled by default on Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces in CISCO ME3600X/3800X and CISCO ASR 903.  
    To establish the link between CISCO ASR 9000 and CISCO ME3600X/3800X, enable auto negotiation on CISCO ASR 9000.   
    CISCO ME3600X/3800X Configuration
    interface TenGigabitEthernet0/1
    end
    CISCO ASR 9000 Configuration
    interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/1
     negotiation auto
