Trunk Link Between 2 Powerconnects HELP

Hi,

Can you issue show fiber-ports optical-transceiver command on both ends to see, did your switches recognize sfp modules?

Powerconnect 5424  g21      N/S     N/S     N/S    N/S    N/S  N/S =N/S - Not Supported

Powerconnect 5524  te1/0/1     OK     OK      OK      OK    OK   No = OK?

 

 

Interesting development on the 5424

I turned off negotiation on g21 and the following happened.

console# config
console(config)# interface ethernet g21
console(config-if)# no negotiation
console(config-if)# speed 1000
console(config-if)# duplex full
console(config-if)# exit
console(config)# exit

Now i slid in my sfp and it comes up!

console# 01-Jan-2000 00:30:09 %Fiber-I-SFP-PRESENT-CHNG: g21 SFP status is present.
01-Jan-2000 00:30:10 %2SWPHY-I-CHNGCOMBOMEDIA: Media changed from copper media to fiber media (1000BASE-SX) on port g21.
01-Jan-2000 00:30:10 %LINK-I-Up:  Vlan 1
01-Jan-2000 00:30:10 %LINK-I-Up:  g21

However, I still can get the 5524 to come up.

I configured the 5524 the same way.

console# config
console(config)# interface te1/0/1
console(config-if)# no negotiation
console(config-if)# speed 1000
console(config-if)# duplex full
console(config-if)# exit
console(config)# exit
console# config

I did notice after I issues shut / no shut on te1/0/1 on the 5524 the Link goes solid greed (indicating its operating at full speed)

I think this has something to do with the cisco sfp modlue being installed a 10gb slot...

but I swear the one in the 5424 is working now....

Hi,.

It's normal situation for Dell switch:) My PC6024 can't get information from 1000Base-SX Dell SFP, can you imagine that? But it's still working, thanks to heaven

As it turns out, one end of my fiber cable was bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Replaced the cable and no additional configuration was needed!

 

EVERYTHING IS UP AND RUNNING!

 

Do know and be aware I had to turn off auto negotiation and setup speed 1000 duplex full on both ends when working with 5424's
