SFP Module Question

Does anyone know if a GLC-T SFP module can be used in the ge ports of a SN 5428 storage router?

The GLC-T may work. I never tried it and I never heard of anyone using RJ45 into the GE ports. Even if it did work, the bottom line is it is unsupported. We only support the short wave and long wave fiber SFPs,
DS-SFP-FCGE-SW
DS-SFP-FCGE-LW

DWDM SFP modules - where to use?

Hi, we are considering to interconnect two sites using DWDM. What type (colored, non-colored 1310) SFP modules should we use on our switches connecting to multiplexer/OADM? Does it depend on the actual MUX device?

DWDM multiplexers and OADM filters have wavelength specific ports, that are connected to an optical transceiver of the same wavelength. Below is a link to the Cisco DWDM pluggable optical transceivers,

Gbic SFP Module doesn't work with SFE2010

Hi All,
Have a question, we have installed 2 SFE2010 via Fiber, i notice that there is no link acttivity on the switch, I have tested the fiber with Dlink Media Convertor and it works. I really need help on this. What do i do ? i have tested with 1 side SFE2010 and the other side Media Convertor. It doesnt work. Do i need to enable the SFP port manually, by default is enabled. Fiber is a multimode. so is there SFP and there Media Convertor
Regards

Joel,
You have not provided lots of specifics about the SFP modules in question. Some 100 Meg SFPs require you to manually set the port speed in the GUI before the SFP will be recognized, so you can try that. Otherwise, suggest you open a case with the Support organization. The contact numbers can be found at the following link:

SFP Module Keepalives?

I read this note from Cisco...
"The switch sends keepalive messages (to ensure the connection is up) only on interfaces that do not have small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules."
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6406/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00805a762d.html
My question is this...
I have a 2960G switch, which has four "dual" interfaces. You either have a choice to use the SFP module, or a regular CAT5 cable for each of those interfaces.
If you use the CAT5 (RJ45) port instead of the SFP module, will it send keepalive messages?

this is correct.
if you use the RJ-45 port, then your STP keepalives will be sent.
perhaps due to the SFP is expected to be used as a TRUNK/UPLINK therefore using BPDUs and not keepalives. still researching why.....will post when i find why.

SFP module, help

Hi guys,
I never use SFP module before, so please help me out.
I have a fiber connection between location A and B. I test the fiber with contractor and the result is successfull.
From the termination, there is patch cord that connect to a SG 300-10MP 10-port Gigabit Max-PoE Managed Switch (SRW2008MP-K9-EU) using a SFP module (MGBSX1).
Location B also the same. From the termination, there is a patch cord connect to a 3Com switch also using a SFP module.
My question is, at the Cisco switch there is no green indicator light, and is check the GUI it show port is Adminstrative = UP, Operational = Down.
If connect the termination to the SFP, it should have light right??
Fyi, at the 3com also no light indicator.
I need an opinion.

Do you have multimode fiber between Location A and B? How long is this fiber link?
What SFP module are you using in the 3COM swtich?
If you take a patch cord and loop it at Location A from the SFP's transmit port directly to its receive port, does the GUI show UP, UP? Try the same at Location B. This should confirm the SFPs are working.
The following 2 documents can be helpful troubleshooting transciever and link issues.

SFP module not showing up as interface choice

I am trying to configure a 3825 router w/IOS 12.4(3d).
When I install a GLC-SX-MM module, I cannot see the module in the sh diag results and therefore not a choice in the list of interfaces.
When I view the logs, the insertion is logged.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,
Chris

Hi Chris,
There are two Gigabit Ethernet ports on Cisco 3800 Series systems. Port 1 is a fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45. Port 0 can choose between 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 and an SFP module slot. SFP modules are optional.
A new command-line interface (CLI) allows you to choose between the two media types. The "SFP" option will only come up if there is a SFP module plugged into the slot. RJ-45 is the default.
Please see the following configurations to get this port working:
Cisco3825#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Cisco3825(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 0/0
Cisco3825(config-if)#media-type ?
rj45 Use RJ45 connector
sfp Use SFP connector
Cisco3825(config-if)#media-type sfp
After this you should be able to use and see the SFP on the router. Hope this helps. :)
Regards,
Param

FAS2554 UTA2 Ports SFP+ Module requirement

Hello, Have anyone know the Netapp FAS2554 UTA2 Ports have any specific requirement for the SFP+ module?(I means if I purchase one other brand SFP+ moudule, it is possible to comptiable with UTA2 ports?) Thanks in advanced!

Hi, From Hardware universe : The onboard UTA2 ports can be configured as FC Target/Initiator or CNA (FCoE target/Ethernet). The UTA2 ports are based on a dual port ASIC and both ports on each ASIC must be set to the same mode (enforced by Data ONTAP). Install X6589-R6 10GbE SFP+ modules or approved copper twinax cables when using in CNA (FCoE target/Ethernet) mode. Install X6596-R6 16Gb FC SFP+ module when using in FC Target/Initiator mode. Thanks

SFP Modules

Hi. We are [luckily] converting a client from Procurve switches to Cisco 2960s. The existing units have SC fiber patch cables already connected. Once we drop the 2960s in, will we need to get new patch cables to go to the SFP modules?

SFP requires LC connectors, so if the patch panel have SC (for GBICs) connectors then an SC-LC cable will be required.

Cisco 3750 Switch SFP Module

Hi all,
I have one 3750 switch( ME-C3750-24TE )with IOS 12.2(25)EY4,
Now I have two SFp Module GLC-SX-MM and i have inserted in four ports of Switch
But nowhere I found it detected via "Sh inventory"
Moreover I have also tried with loop cable (LCPC-FCPC-ATTENTUATOR-FCPC-LCPC)bUT NOT GETTING lED ON ANY PORT
Pl. Guide
I am attaching sh-tech for reference

Hi,
when inserted the SFP module in one port take a look at the output of "show interface gigabitethernetX/Y" watch for a line (I think it is line 5) including the word "media", there should be a short description of the SFP. Also look at the first line of "show interface gigabitethernetX/Y" it could be that the SFP doesn't work in the switch (maybe because it is a none cisco one) then there would be something like "err-disabled". And if you have logging enabled on the switch (e.g. logging buffered 8192 debugging) then there should be an error message also.
The command "show idprom interface gigabitethernetX/Y" shows information about the SFP module in slotX/Y.
Depending on the "err-disable" configuration of the switch ("show err-disable detect" and "show err-disable recovery") a looped interface maybe put in an 'err-disabled' state, see "show interface ..." or "show logging"
HTH

Mark

Cisco 3925 and SFP modules

I'm trying to install a MGBSX1 into the Cisco 3925 but it's doesn't seem it's detecting it for some reason.
I've changed media type and I've tested with another SFP module (GLC-SX-MM) which works fine.
Am I missing a command to enable this type of module on the Cisco 3925?
Thanks

Hi,
Looking at the SFP compatability table for 39XX series routers.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/routers/3900-series-integrated-services-routers-isr/relevant-interfaces-and-modules.html#formfactor
The MGBSX1 is NOT mentioned
Looks like the MGBSX1 is only compatable with the Small Business switch family.

Optical Fiber connection between GBIC module and SFP module

Hi
I am in need of help.
I have a 3750 24TS-S, 2 port SFP, switch at the edge. And i have a 4507R switch at the Distribution layer. In 4507 switch I have WS-X4515 Sup IV supervisor engine with 2 GBIC Port and also have WS-4306-GB 6 port GBIC module. I am using WS-G5486 Single mode connector, LX/LH tranceiver to connect to this port.
This is the scenario.. i want to know is it posible to conect one end of the fiber cable to connect to a SFP Module ( 3750-24TS-S, 2 Port SFP) and other end ( WS-X4515 Sup IV supervisor engine with 2 GBIC Port or WS-4306-GB 6 port GBIC module) at the WS-G5486 Single mode LX/LH connector ?????
Plz let me now asap.. i need to give a solution imdtly.
Thanks & regards
Jacob

Discussion is never a problem ....;-}
The issue is that the signal is "too loud" and is distorted (or, more correctly, is so loud it overloads the receiver).
The operational envelope for nearly every receiver of any kind includes a bottom number (too weak to hear) and a top number (too loud to understand).
As an example, think about an system where you have a hearing aid that would let you hear someone speaking in a normal voice from 100 feet away ... then having someone scream the same words into the hearing aid from 6 inches away ... the sound would be distorted and you would have difficulty understanding them ... after a while, you'd begein to go deaf and eventually, it would sound normal (until you became completely deaf).
So, what you need to do is look at the transmitter power, and the envelope/range of acceptable power the receiver can hear.
Normally that difference is the optical budget ... given the loss numbers of the media between the two, you can determine if you have enough power to make the trip.
In a Lab environment, you still have to hit the receiver's budget number, but from the other end (the "too high" side).
If you know the transmitter puts out X, and the receiver can accept from Y to (X-50), then you need to add enough attenuation to get X down to (X-50)or lower (but still more than Y).
When you have a transmitter powerful enough to drive tens of kilometers, putting one two meters away from the receiver will pretty much guarantee a burnout (unless you install optical attenuation).
Good Luck

Choosing correct optical patch cable based on SFP module

can someone share information regarding the topic (all cable parameters should pass to a certain SFP module: connector type; mode type; diameter etc)?

Ok, so you'll need a patch cord of the following specifications:
<LENGTH> - You choose whether you want pre-made 10 metres or you can get them to customize the length (will cost more, obviously).
Terminating end types - LC to LC (Duplex);
Multi-Mode optical fibre;
OM4 - You can use OM3 if you want but I'd rather use OM4. Don't even attempt to try OM1 or OM2.
<COLOR>- Your choice. Normally, OM4 is aqua but you can choose any color you want (may cost more). DO NOT USE YELLOW as this means a different type of cable (single-mode). You do not want to make your fibre optic cabling confusing for everyone.
NOTE: If someone wants to sell you an "angle cut" multi-mode fibre, they need to be taken out and shot.
