I hv Catalyst 2960G Switch. I hv plugged in SFP module but still interface is down and line protocol down. Is there any configuration to enable SFP module and make the interface up?

Hello,

Did you pluged the Optical cable too, or just the interface module?

Is there any syslog messages? You can try shutdown and no shutdown the port, and if the cable is connected change the sequence of the strands (direct connection: tx - rx and rx -tx should be the scenario)

Are you going to use trunk or access link? Did you defined VLANs on this switch?

What is the interface status in the output of:

show interface

show interface gigabit0/x status err-disable

Also please check the media type settings under this interface, it should be media type sfp.

bye

Please rate me if I helped.

Yes we hv plugged both optical cable as well as interface module and also checked reversing sequence of the strands.

We want to use it as access link. Default VLAN is there on Switch. We hv not configured any other VLAN.

The output of Show interface is as uder :

GigabitEthernet0/1 is down, line protocol is down (notconnect)

Keepalive set (10 sec)bles, 0 late collision,

Auto-duple

Hardware is Gigabit Ethernet, address is 001c.0eb3.be81 (bia 001c.0eb3.be81)PAUSE outputtion : 37 bytes

Kindly suggest for the further action to be taken.

The interface itself is not coming up which points to a cable connectivity problem.

Can you try with a different cable?

Narayan

Have you tried change the sequence of strands (change rx, tx)?

Is the VLAN interface is in up up state on the switch?

We hv tried changing the sequence of Rx & Tx and also default VLAN interface is UP. But still SFP interface port is not coming up. Please help.

Can you post output of

show interface gigabitethernet 0/x

Is there any syslog message when you install this SFP to the switch?

Please define the swithc type and also the SFP type.

as you are using media type is 1000BaseLX SFP , make sure you are using single mode not multimode cable.It does work with MM , but depend on distance.

What is the hardware on the other end? You will not see a connection if one end is SX and your end is LX, they have totally different tx/rx power ratings.

Before any good trial, please investegate into hardware spec for SFP module.

cisco sometimes does not support another SFP, but just only cisco SFP.
