GBIC or SFP Information

Can anyone please let me know that how will I find the availability of GBIC or SFP card in its slot provided.
I am trying to find this for following device types
6509, 7200, 7500, 7600 & 29-00 devices.
I tried
"show diag" it gives information only up to port adapter level, no information is provided about the availability of the pluggable factors.
"show interface GigabitEthernet" I see some response even if the hardware is not plugged in.
Please help

Hi,
For the 6500 and 7600 one command might give you the information needed:
show idprom interface gigx/y
or for the entire module:
show idprom module x
For the 7200/7500 platform I am not aware of any command.

       How to show module and SFP information include hardware serial number on Nexus switch?                 Thanks.

    Hi,
    The show inventory command will give you details of the Nexus chassis, power supplies, Supervisor, Fabric, I/O modules (including FEX if you have them) etc. To get the details of the installed SFP/SFP+ then you'll need to use the show interface transceiver command.

  • GBIC to SFP

    Can I connect a GBIC port to a SFP port ?are there suitable fiber cords for the same?

    There are also some GBICs/SFPs that are designed to work on different frequencies than the standards.
    CWDM does this and occasionally I find that people end up with one of one type, and the other side is another type.
    Just take a look at their names and you can usually figure out what they are.
    This page seems to be a good quick list of common GBICs and SFPs.

  • Difference between GBIC and SFP module

    when its best to use GBIC and When to use SFP ?
    what i know is basically SFP is a smaller version of GBIC but I am not clear when to use what any special recommendation ?

    GBIC - Datasheet definition:
    The industry-standard Cisco Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet port or slot, linking the port with the network. Cisco GBICs can be interchanged on a wide variety of Cisco products and can be intermixed in combinations of 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-ZX, or 1000BASE-CWDM interfaces on a port-by-port basis.

    Ok, now if you have a look at the above datasheets for GBIC's & SFP's, you would find that GBIC & SFP are different in there sizes, hence it is more of a question as to which gigabit solution your device supports. If your device supports GBIC, like 4500's, you will have to go for a GBIC, & if your device supports SFP, like 3750's, you will have to go for a SFP. These days all the latest devices would have SFP's normally.
    Also, here is a very good document which lists almost all the GBIC's & SFP's & the devices on which they are supported, you may check your device on this list & decide which one can you use accordingly.
    Hope that helps !!

  • Connect GBIC to SFP

    Hello everybody.
    Ok. here is the question. Is it possible to make an uplink between a Cisco Catalyst 3550 switch (via 1000BASE-T GBIC model WS-G5483) and a Catalyst 2960 switch (via 1000BASE-T model GLC-T SFP module or it's gigabit Etherner ports)?
    Best Regards

  • Connting gbic and sfp

    Hi,
    I have two switches, 3750 (12 SFP ports) and 2950 (with 2 GBIC ports) and I want to connect the GBIC from 2950 and SFP from 3750 interfaces at gigabit speed. Are there special fiber patches for doing this (with one end for SFP and the other for GBIC)?
    Thanks in advance

    HI Gabriel,
    Depending on the type of SFP you are using, you will need one of the following types of cables:
    Single Mode LX LC-to-SC Connectors
    Fiber Multimode SX LC-to-SC Connectors
    The SFP uses an LC-terminated cable ....
    Hope that helps - pls rate the post if it does.

  • GBIC AND SFP

    Am a little bit confuse as to the differencen sfp and GBIC.
    I have also come across gigabit Stack gbic. Any contribution to make this clear
    will be appreciated.
    Cheers
    Jitez

    SFP and GBIC are just interface units that makes the users having a better choice of what to be able to connect to an switch, instead of having a switch model for single mode fiber(LH,ZX) , multi mode fiber, copper, CWDM and so on... The make an switch that have the logical interface and then just make the physical interface connectible and interchangeable in the switch.. Thus only needed to make fewer models.
    The difference between SFP and GBIC are primarily just an big size difference, it's really impossible to connect an GBIC to an SFP port and vice versa, so there is no worries about connecting the "wrong" interface unit.
    The gigastack gbic are for making an connection that you could stack switches with and only use one GBIC port instead of two if you use ordinary Ethernet GBICs for it.
    Hope this was to some help/assistance?

  • GBIC and SFP Module

    HI , Welcome for All
    I am putting two series widely in my new network , which are 500 and 3500 series , but here I am getting confused to select the Interface Module , Should I opt GLC-SX-MM or WS-G5484
    Thanks
    Praveen 9212 506 503

    500 supports only GLC-SX-MM and GLC-LH-SM
    GLC-SX-MM is SFP while WS-G5484 is GBIC they both operate in ordinary multimode fibre
    You may opt to GLC-SX-MM for 500 and WS-G5484 for 3500. But you should tell us the exact model of you 3500.

    If its a Cisco GBIC, it should get recognised as you meet the IOS requirement. Is it the only one with which u r facing the problem or some others too.
    There are some fake GBICS in the market to with exact look alike as the cisco one. Please open a TAC request along with the model and product number of the GBIC u r using and TAC should be able to help you in this matter.

  • CWDM SFP Gbic modules

    Can I use a pair of the CWDM SFP Gbics between two cat 3550s for a basic CWDM point to point back bone segment. Other than the size what is the difference between the SFP gbics and the regular size? Why is the price cheaper for the SFP gbics?
    Thanks..

    You can use a pair of CWDM GBICs between two Cat3550 switches, but you cannot use a pair of CWDM SFP optical transceivers. The 3550s take GBICs only. (The SFPs fit Cat3750 switches.) Just be sure to match up the wavelengths at each end, and have at least 12dB of in-line attenuation between the GBICs to avoid overloading the receive optics.
    Generally speaking, size, connector type (SC versus LC) and electrical interface of the optical transceivers are the only differences between GBICs and SFPs. Cisco's list prices are the same whether GBIC or SFP, for SX (US$500), LX/LH (US$995), and ZX (US$3,995) varieties.
    I don't have pricing information handy on the CWDM versions, but I would expect them to cost the same for a given wavelength/color whether GBIC or SFP. I would also expect the CWDM ones to cost a little more than the ZX models because they have to be more precise with respect to their transmit and receive optics, since they're operating at discrete wavelengths within the 1550nm region (1470-1610nm).
    Hope this helps.

  • Media Convertors vs. Inline SFP or GBIC

    I have read over many posts on this forum, but I still have some questions......
    Are there any gained advantages in using the Cisco SFP or GBIC to connect to the Fiber Cabling (besides Product Support) over external Media Convertors?
    I am new to the Optical World. A design project was dropped in my hands. I have to connect 2 offices using Fiber. The actual underground cable run will be handled by an outside contractor. Short Distance (less than 1 km).
    I have to come up with an equipment list and configure the network devices after they are purchased. I am looking at a 3750 Switch at each site and Transition Media Convertors hanging off of an Ethernet switchport (100 or 1000) that connect to the fiber. I am also looking to make those interfaces VLAN trunks.
    Is it better to use the inline SFP modules instead?
    (I figure using the External Media Convertors instead would be keeping it simple since I can attach it to an configurable ethernet port on the switch)
    also
    Are the fiber SFP modules configured like any other interface?
    interface ethernet XX
    swithport mode trunk
    etc
    any thoughts appreciated

    Advantages to Gigabit-speed SFP or GBIC:
    * Takes up less space.
    * It derives power from the switch it's plugged into. (Media converter requires a separate AC power outlet.)
    * Covered under the warranty or Cisco SMARTnet maintenance contract you have on the switch it's plugged into. (Transition's media converters have a lifetime warranty, but the turn-around time on a replacement may not be as quick as what you get with a SMARTnet agreement.)
    Disadvantages:
    * Cost?
    * Can only be used with Cisco devices. (Transition's media converter can be connected to any manufacturer's switch.)
    What kind of fiber you are running between the two buildings?
    Generally speaking, single mode fiber will require Cisco's LX/LH GBICs to run Gigabit Ethernet from 0 (zero) to 10km. These run $995 list price each (two are needed).
    Multimode fiber can use the SX GBICs from 0 to 220-275m if 62.5-micron in diameter, and out to 500-550m if 50-micron. SX GBICs run $500 list price each (two are needed).
    If 62.5-micron and longer than 220-275m but less than 550m, you can use LX/LH GBICs with specialized mode-conditioning patch cables. These cables are somewhat more expensive than regular patch cables: figure on 2X the price or a regular one.
    If you can get by with a 100-megabit Fast Ethernet link over the fiber, then the media converters are the way to go. Over multimode, you can drive Fast Ethernet out to 2km in full duplex mode; over single mode, the least expensive ones can push to 20km with ease (also full duplex).
    By default, the Transition 100-meg media converters autodetect duplex setting, so you can plug it into a 10/100 auto port on the switch and it will crank up to full duplex. Or, you can hard-code the port to 100 full and manually set the converter to be the same.
    Configuration of the switchport as a VLAN access port or VLAN trunk port is the same, whether it's got a media converter or GBIC or SFP on it. On a fiber port in the switch (SFP or GBIC), speed is limited to 1000 megabit only: it cannot "down-shift" to 100 meg. And on Cisco's switches and routers, it's always full duplex. Copper ports can do 10/100 or 10/100/1000 autodetect speed and duplex, but these can also be hard-coded.
    Hope this helps.
    EDITED TO ADD: List pricing on Cisco's SFPs is the same as the GBICs.

  • Is there a GBIC to sfc patch cable?

    I believe the currently installed fiber is GBIC, but the switch converter is mini-GBIC.  Is there a way to get these to work together? 
    Thanks.

    I'm not really sure what you mean, GBIC is a type of interface convertor  and usually has SC Fibre connectors, the mini-GBIC you are referring to may be an SFP which is a smaller type of interface convertor and usually has LC Fibre connectors.
    GBICs and SFPs will work together as long as they are the same type ie Single Mode or Multi Mode and you also need to make sure the TX and RX Optical Power levels are within the specified limits at both ends of the link.
    On some switches the command "show inventory" may show the type of interface convertor installed.
    SITE-A-CAT#show inventory
    NAME: "SITE-A-CAT", DESCR: "Cisco Catalyst c2950 switch with 24 10/100 BaseTX ports and 2 GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) slots"

  • ASR 1001 SFP issue

    I am working on putting a loaner ASR 1001 into my infrastructure to replace my 7206 VXR.  Currently my uplink to my ISP is fiber and runs into an GBIC SX MM transceiver.  No issue with connectivity.  When i change the fiber patch over to LC I connect it to the ASR 1001 GBIC and I get no link.  Tried changed negotiation auto to no negotiation auto not affect. I then took the fiber and connected to a gbic I have in a 3560 switch link comes right up. At this point I am a bit stumped. Tried moving the configuration to a different interface on the ASR no luck. Totally confused.

    What model transceiver are you using on the ASR? I didn't tink they took GBICs - ony SFPs. I think the one you would need is an SFP (the GLC-SX-MMD or GLC-SX-MM without DOM). That's what's compatible on an ASR 1001 for 1 Gbps MM fiber per the compatibility matrix.
    Is the ASR recognizing the transceiver? (show int ___)

  • GBIC to FE - Up Link

    Hi Friends,
    I have a 4507E Switch with 4306-GB GBIC Module. The Edge Switches are connected to this Distribution Switch. I have installed 1 new switch now (3750-TS 10/100), located in the nearest floor(< 50Mtr) I would like to connect the switch using UTP uplink. On the Distribution switch I am using 1000BaseT convertor to convert GBIC to UTP.
    The port on 3750 is 10/100 only, and the GBIC is 1 Gig in speed. I connect the cable but the link is not comng up. Dont have any option to set the speed and duplex on the GBIC.
    What i can do in this case? How to make the link UP? Can i connect like this?
    regards
    Jcb

    Believe that's the case.
    If you had a 3750G, you could use one of its 10/100/1000 copper ports, but with a 3750, only the SFP ports support gig.
    If you had a different 4500 card than your 4306, that had copper ports (e.g. 4124, 4148), you could connect to one (or more, Etherchannel?) 3750 10/100 port.
    To minimize the procurement of GBIC and SFP copper converters, you could consider using one (or more?) 3750s as aggregation/distribtion switches. For instance, have a 3750 connected to the 4500 via the gig uplink, and multiple 3750s connected to that 3750 across copper 10/100 links. (Keep in mind, you could off-load L2 and L3 to such a "distribution" switch. Further, keep in mind, [I believe] non-G 3750s will support wire speed, all ports. You could "share" a 3750 in the access and distribtion role.)

Maybe you are looking for
