Cisco 4900M integrated X2 ports, CVR-X2-SFP10G and SFP-10G-SR

Hi,
We are going to order two(2) cisco 4900M switches for core and twelve (12) 2960S switches for access (4 stacks with 3 switches each), connected to the core with 10G MM optical paths (up to 300M each).  In addition I have one gigabit half-card but it is not related to my questions here. Please see my attached diagram.
So my questions are:
1. Point 1.Can we use integrated eight X2 ports of every of the both 4900M switches as plugging into four of them four convertors CVR-X2-SFP10G and to plug on every of the convertors sfp tranceivers SFP-10G-SR - as it is described on the diagram, or I need for something more in addition to described? I found only some minimum soft releases to use as requirement to use these convertors and sfp tranceivers, but is there something additional I need?
Note:I'm asking that because Dynamic Conf Tool doesn't give me to do such configuration, actually these convertors and SFPs are missing there at all, but it sometimes happens with some products...  In documentation it is described this should work (if I didn't pass something which is my main consern and why I'm asking here).
2.Point 3.If this shouldn't work, the other alternative (not described in my diagram) is to use X2-10GB-SR modules without any SFPs - just ot use SC connectors for the optical cables instead of LC. So my question in that case is will 10G links work between X2-10GB-SR at one side and SFP-10G-SR at the other side where I have 2960S switches and this is the only option? Is is expected to have some problems in that scenario?
Note:Actually if Point 1 is workable I prefer to use it instead of Point 2 because of minor price optimization when using SFPs with convertors in comparisson to X2-10GB-SR.
3. If the both variants are possible, which one is preffered and why, what advantages does it have (for example low latency of something else)?
Thank You in Advance

Just for your information, a fiber link does not care if one end of the fiber has an GBIC (SC-type connector) and the other end has a SFP (LC-type of connector); or any other transceiver footprint (X2, CFP, etc.)..  The thing that is important is that each module is the same specification, and matches the fiber type and link length of the network (10GBASE-SX in this example).
Good luck.

    Hi,
    If your DBMS is 10.2.0.4 and your application servers are Windows there is a serious bug with the 10.2.0.4 client you should be aware of. Please contact me directly or your TAM for the details. It is very difficult to recreate this issue but when it hits you no users will be able to login.
    You should also follow the PPS init.ora and statistics strategy. This will be a key to getting good performance with Siebel on 10g. Our recommendations are slightly different from the Siebel recommendations and cover areas they don’t even mention.
    I would recommend you use our PPS SQL Record/Playback product to test your actual production SQL on 10.2. This will give you 100% test coverage and is very easy to do.
    You also should read the chapter in my friend Jonathan Lewis’ book that describes upgrade surprises in moving from 9i to 10g

  • Nexus 9508 Using The CVR-QSFP-SFP10G

    Hi, we have a Nexus 9508 with a 36-Port 40GE module (N9K-X9636PQ).
    The servers, with 10GE SFP+ optics, are too far to use the 5m passive breakout cable.
    Does the 40GE modules support the QSA module(CVR-QSFP-SFP10G) so that we can connect a 10GE SFP+ optic into it?
    We looked at the doc below and it does not mention the Nexus 9508.
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/interfaces_modules/transceiver_modules/compatibility/matrix/OL_24900.html
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    You need to configure the 40g port as an individual breakout using the cli command "interface breakout slot 4 port 1-3 map 10" first.
    Then you can use single mode optic in the QSA

  • Cat6807 + VS-S2T-10G + CVR-X2-SFP10G + SFP-H10GB-CU5M?

    Is the Cisco OneXConverter Module, CVR-X2-SFP10G, compatible with VS-S2T-10G in a 6807 using a SFP-H10GB-CU5M cable to connect to an ASA5585?

    Compatibility matrix which eludes the CVR-X2-SFP10G module is compatible with the VS-S2T-10G and SFP-H10GB-CU5M but only if the SFP-H10GB-CU5M is version 2.  I am not comfortable with this chart as it does not list the software requirement which could imply it is not compatible when used with the SFP-H10GB-CU5M.

  • Why my Jabber 9.2.3 Sign in like Cisco UC Integration(TM) for Microsoft Lync?

    After I uninstall Cisco UC Integration(TM) for Microsoft Lync 8.6 from my computer and reinstall Cisco Jabber 9.2(3), I found my Jabber got the same interface of sign in with Cisco UC Integration(TM) for Microsoft Lync. it let me input the TFTP,CTI,CCMCIP server adress, instead of choosing the presence server and inputing the presence server address and domain.
    after I sign in, it is aslo like Cisco UC Integration(TM) for Microsoft Lync, there is not the side button of contacts list, I can only search the person to call and can not send message or chat any more.
    I tried many times to uninstall and reinstall Jabber,i failed, except I install Jabber 9.1(3), it works well. but I try to reinstall 9.2(3) again, it goes back like Cisco UC Integration(TM) for Microsoft Lync,why?
    Thx.

    Hi,
    You probably had CUCILync 9.2 installed previosly, and since CUCILync 9.2 is based on Jabber phone mode, the interfaces are the same. (You have Jabber phone mode nterface now)
    These settings are written in jabber-boostrap.properties file and Jabber reads them from here.
    That file is stored here:
    C:\ProgramData\Cisco Systems\Cisco Jabber
    If you delete thise file, interface should change.
    If you want to install Jabber and avoid such things, do this with option clear=1
    - msiexec.exe /i CiscoJabberSetup.msi CLEAR=1 ...

  • Conecting 2nd monitor to mainboard integrated vga port on km4m

    hello there, i got another monitor from my sister's old computer and want to get it working at the same time with my FIRST PRICIPAL MONIITOR, i got a Nvidia FX5200-T128 , that is where my first and principal monitor is connected ..... i use a KM4M-L mainboard, it has an integrated vga port, and i was wondering if i could plug my second monitor on there, andi did , but the system does not recognize it, i searched or an BIOS option like to enable that vga port , but was unable to find it... searched through all the mainboard's "users guide" but nothings talks about the integrated vga port. ..... i use 512 ddr for ram
    i hope im giving all the information you need to help, if im not please let me know and i will be glad to .... any help here will be apreciated... as always

    Unfortunatly, the onboard VGA port auto-disables when an AGP card is used. This leaves two choices for multi-monitor support. An AGP card with dual output, or adding a PCI card for the second output. Does your FX5200 have twin output? Many have 1 VGA and 1 DVI, which can be used simultaniously for dual monitors.
    Ironicly, using a PCI video card, instead of an AGP, will usually allow the onboard to also be used.

  • Cisco 4900m, pbr, route-map

    Hi,
    My customer has a question, what is the limit for entries for the route-map for PBR that will be done in hardware? This applies to soft-4900M 12.2 (53) SG2. I need a reference to documentation.
    Regards,

    Hi Lukasz,
    the 4900M is a Data Center Switch and not a Metro one, so it is more appropriate if you post these types of questions on Network Infrastructure > LAN Switching and Routing section
    (the 4900M should not be confused with the ME4900 series, which are Metro switches instead).
    Anyway it supports 128.000 Security and Quality-of-Service (QoS) Hardware Entries as documented here:

  • 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.  

  • Best way to connect 2 Cisco 3750 PoE 24-port Switches

    Hello. I have 2 Cisco 3750 PoE 24-port switches in a small office environment. Right now I have a trunk configured off my ASA 5505 to switch 1, and then just an access port configured on a port (switch 1) and an access port configured on a port (switch 2) to connect them together. These switches also have 2 GB SFP ports but they are not being used in this configuration.
    I was curious to know if anyone had any better recommend configurations for connecting these 2 switches together? I'm not sure if this particular model can be stacked? 

    What are the exact model numbers (should be written on a sticker)?
    You will know if they can be stacked as you will see the 2x stack ports on the back of each switch :)
    If they can then that is probably the way to go unless you want to keep them as separate switches for some reason.
    If you want them separate, I would connect them via a Trunk link at least so you can have the same Vlans on both.
    Thanks

    do I have any chance to force it go to vlan 200? o
    Any comments will be appreciate
    Thanks in advance
    julxu

    Hi
    Most IP phones have some mechanism for setting the VLAN - Cisco phones use CDP, but other phones do not. Check with the manufacturer, or post up the type of phone you have.
    For example, some phones require you to set custom DHCP options to set the VLAN.
