Connection of LC/APC fiber patch cords to Cisco Catalyst 6500 $ Cisco Access 3750 Switches

I have an LC/APC fiber patch cord infrastructure and I want to connect it to Cisco Catalyst 6500 & Cisco Access 3750 Switches. what type of transceiver should be used?
I read a note on Cisco website stating the following for Cisco SFP+ transceivers:
Note: "Only connections with patch cords with PC or UPC connectors are supported. Patch cords with APC connectors are not supported. All cables and cable assemblies used must be compliant with the standards specified in the standards section"

Thank you,  but my question is that I have a single mode fiber patch cord with LC/APC connector while cisco stating a note that only use LC/PC or LC/UPC type of connectors with SFP+ transceiver.  
So what type of transceiver should I use to connect LC/APC patch cord to cisco switches?  Is there another type or SFP+ still can be used?

  • Fiber Patch cord bewteen X2-10GB-SR and SFP-10G-SR

    I would like to know which patch cord should I be using between X2-10GB-SR and SFP-10G-SR. The mention of part no would be very helpful.
    Thank You

    Thanks Sulaiman for the correction. I should not have relied purely on memory as it has potential of failing :-).

  • ASA 5505 speed reduction when connected to a Planet fiber converter

    Hi!
    We have many customers running ASA 5505, and a number of them are running 100 Mbit connections. This normally works fine. But recently, our ISP has started setting up all new fiber connections using a Planet fiber to RJ converter (Before they used Cisco switches), and with those, the locations only get around 50-60 Mbit. We have done all the testing - force port speed and duplex settings, test with a PC directly connected to the converter etc. And the connection allways runs 100 Mbit. And the ASA's themselves also run 100 Mbit when connected to anything else than the Planet converter. We have for now circumvented the problem by placing a simple L2 switch between the converter and the ASA's, but this is not an ideal solution as it adds another single point of failure element etc.
    Any ideas?

    The Express units can extend wireless on the TC or each other.. but they cannot extend wireless on the Asus anyway..
    So the setup is Asus--TC (that has to be ethernet) The TC in bridge mode.
    Then TC -- express can be done by ethernet in roaming mode as bob listed above or extend wireless.
    I am guessing.. what model are the express units.. they are older Gen1 N model ??
    IMHO the TC is simply no longer viable.. replace it with one express as the AP and extend it with the other Express.. see if that works better.
    But I would be trying to use the wireless just from the AC66U.
    I would also force the Asus back to 20mhz on the 2.4ghz band.. so you can provide adequate channel separation.. 40mhz wireless on 2.4ghz works poorly anyway because you have too much wifi .. there is very limited number of non-overlapping channels.. ie 3. 11, 6 and 1.

  • Ethernet Cable or Patch Cord for AE?

    Do I need an ethernet cable to connect my AE to a cable modem?
    I only have a patch cord with me and it's making me nuts that my MacBook Pro works fine hardlined into the cable modem, but the cord doesn't work with the AE.
    Thanks!

    Thanks! Then I guess I'm not sure what the problem is.
    I've done a factory reset on the AE. It transmits fine and I can set it up and it appears to be connected to my MacBook. Flashing amber light still won't go away.

    Is there any way to connect an ipad to a ethernet  cord or connect with out using wi fi?  Thank  you

    The closest you can come, without having a 3G iPad is to have a cellular mobile hotspot like the Mifi or such device, use that to get to wifi, or to tether it to a cell phone.

  • Connecting two 4510r with Fiber

    I would like to connect two 4510r (50 Km separated) via FO but it doesn´t seem to support ZX FSPs and the supervisors don´t have GBIC slots. Any recommendations?

    Two questions -
    What Sup is in question?
    Are you using this SFP( part number GLC-ZX-SM=) ?
    This SFP seems to be supported by Sup IV and SuP V.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps4324/products_data_sheets_list.html
    Also check this link. The highlight being
    "Cisco 1000BASE-ZX GBIC can reach up to 62 miles (100 km) by using dispersion shifted SMF or low-attenuation SMF; the distance depends on fiber quality, number of splices, and connectors."

  • 3750 switch and HP switch fiber connectivity issue

    I have connected 2 Cisco 3750 switches "WS-C3750-48TS-S" with the LC to LC Duplex Single Mode fiber cable. Both the switches are communicating with each other.
    As i have checked in the cisco document that GLC-SX-MM support only Multimode fiber cable. So i am surprised how does it support single mode fiber optic cable.
    Can anyone tell me the reason for supporting single mode fiber optic cable?
    But when i connect HP 4208 switch with the same Cisco 3750 the interface is showing up but the input packets are 0 and output packets are increasing on both ends.
    I have checked the SFP's and fiber cable are compatible with HP. 
    Can anybody suggest me what can be the possible cause of this?
    Regards,

    I tried to troubleshoot this issue by using some show commands.
    As i have checked that there are some specific commands to check SFP transreceiver as given below:
    show hw-module subslot slot/subslottransceiver port idprom.
    show interfaces {{[int_name] transceiver {[detail]} | {transceiver [module mod] | detail [module mod]}}
    But these commands support only those transreceivers which support DOM. GLC-SX-MM doesn't support DOM.
    Can anyone tell me that are there some troubleshoting commands to solve out the issue?

  • Minimum Fiber Patch Cable Length for MGBSX1

    I want to "stack" a couple 300 series gigabit switches with fiber using a pair of MGBSX1 GBICs and a single LC to LC patch cable.
    Is there a minimum supported patch cable length in this configuration?

    Howard,
    Thank you for posting. You should have no issues using a short fiber patch between the switches. Just make sure the fiber doesn't bend too sharply and get damaged.

  • Unable to connect a Netapp San to a Cisco Catalyst in 10Gb

    I have a Cisco Catalyst 4507R with a WS-X4606-X2-E and X2-10GB-SR to be connected to a Netapp SAN and it does not work.
    With show interface transceiver detail it seems that the power sent by netapp is good but the link stay in dwon down state
    Any help?

    down/down is related to layer 1 issue. Make sure the SFP is correct on both ends (and same type: LR vs SR) and also make sure you are using the right fiber. You can loop back on the same catalyst both sfps with the cable to see if the link comes up.

  • Cisco ASA 5505 Remote Access IP/Sec VPN Connectivity Issues

    We have a Cisco ASA that we use just for Remote Access VPN. It uses UDP and was working fine for about 2 months. Recently clients have had intermittent issues when connecting from home. The following message is display by the Cisco VPN Client :
    "Secure VPN connection terminated locally by the Client. Reason 412: The remote peer is no longer responding"
    Upon looking at a client side packet capture, I notice that no response is being given back to the client for the udp packets sent to the ASA on udp 500. If I login to the ASA from the LAN and send a single ping FROM the ASA, then the client can connect without issue. I don't understand the significance of the needed outbound ping since ping is not used by the client to test if the ASA is alive.
    Once again this is a remote access udp ip/sec VPN. I set most of it up with the VPN wizard and then backed up the config. The issue started happening at least a month after setup (maybe two) and I restored to the saved config just in-case, but the issue remains.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
    I'm using IOS 831 and have tried 821 and 823 as one thread that I found recommended downgraded to 821.
    Thanks much,
    Justin

    Javier,
    I logged into the ASA last time the VPN went down. I issued the following commands:
    debug crypto isakmp 190
    debug crypto ipsec 190
    capture outside-cap interface outside match udp any any
    I then used a remote access tool to access the client and tried to connect. I got absolutely nothing from debugging. So I issued the following command:
    show capture outside | include 500
    and also got nothing. So I issued the following command:
    ping 4.2.2.2
    Upon which my normal deug messaged began to showup, so I issued the show capture outside command again and recieved the expected output below:

    It would seem as if no traffic reached the ASA until some outbound traffic to an arbitrary public IP. In this case I sent an echo request to a public DNS server. It seems almost like a state-table issue although I don't know how ICMP ties in.
    Once again, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to connect my Macbook with an ipad mini in order to have an access to the internet on my iPad?

    Dear fellows, I am having a trouble in how to connect my mac with an iPad mini in order to have an access to the internet.

    If you are attempting to share your iPad mini's cellular data connection with the MacBook, please check out the following Apple Support article for additional details on how to do so.

  • Networks will "connect" over Wifi, but DNS resolution is impossible and I can't access the internet.

    My OSX 10.7.5 iMac (late 2011) will connect to my university's wireless network and thinks it's connected to the internet, but cannot resolve any DNS - and cannot actually access the internet on any browser or internet-utilising app. My university has 2 networks, a regular wifi one and an eduroam one. I have the same problem on both networks. My MacBook, running Snow Leopard, and my iPad (latest software) both connect to both networks just fine.
    Because it's my university's network, i can't reset my router or anything like that. I'm in halls. I don't think it's a network issue, because all my other devices are fine.
    I've searched high and low on these forums but haven't found anyone having exactly the same problem as me - I've heard of odd few minutes of people losing their connections in this manner, but my computer's been down now for hours and nothing. I've restarted it many times, even once in "Recovery Mode" and I'm getting nothing. I've followed instructions to flush my DNS cache, renew DHCP leases, I've tried manually inputting various DNSes I've found (eg the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 google ones), none of which have worked.
    Using terminal, I can't ping either an http:// domain, or an IP address. Both get "timed out" as a response. I can't access the internet on any browser (chrome, safari, firefox), my google mail notifier, Skype, or my twitter app. Or anything else.
    I'm relatively computer literate, but I'm not particularly code-savvy, so I'd really appreciate it if I could get some step-by step help on here, bearing in mind what I've already tried. I'm really worried, because it all seems to have happened completely out of the blue. Last time I updated was some time a couple weeks ago; I update whenever my software update beeps at me.
    Thanks.

    Go step by step and test.
    1.Power Cycle
       Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
       Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly.
       It will take a while.
      Restart the computer.
      Start up in Safe Mode.

    Hi,
    Generally, this issue should be related with something called split tunneling, since you’re using a F5 vpn client, you need to look for something related to split tunneling in the F5 VPN client's documentations.
    Here is an example, share it with you as a reference.
