3750e with twin gig convertor

miket · ‎07-23-2009

Does anyone have a sample config for the setting up the 10 gig port for two one gig's I have the twinx convertor but I cannot see how configure it as two single ports

Example: You have a 3750E-24TD, i.e. 24 copper ports and the uplinks. In the config you'll see an interface TenGigabitEthernet1/0/1, if it's a 10

GE X2 which is in use, while you'll see interfaces GigabitEthernet1/0/25 and 1/0/26, if a Twingig is in place.

In other words, the physical X2 determines which types of interface you have available for configuring, as seen with a show interface status:

Gi1/0/24 GC_Internet connected 998 full 100 10/100/1000BaseTX

Gi1/0/27 UX2-1 g0/49 connected trunk a-full a-1000 1000BaseLX SFP

Gi1/0/28 UX2-2 g0/49 connected trunk a-full a-1000 1000BaseLX SFP

Te1/0/1 10GE til gl.server connected trunk full 10G 10GBase-LR

Here a 10GE X2 is in slot 1 and a Twingig is in slot 2.

Don't be confused when you get into config mode - you still see the interface gig1/0/25 and 1/0/26 in the config but they are not available for configuration.

Thanks,, I seen that afterwards

(the 1/0/25-28). How do I confgiure the X2 ports if I cannot get into 1/0/27?

Thanks again

paste the output of the show int tengig where you say you have the twin-gig module. Thanks

Hi,

You need to specify that you are using 1GB modules with the

hw-module module port-group

select gigabitethernet

command. The switch will then recognise the SFP modules you have inserted into the X2 and create the Gi ports.

See

Hope this helps

Is that true for the 3750e.. I din't see the "SHow Hw-Module" command. I went into the int gig and set it as a trunk but I have not put it in production yet.

If I am running a 3750 e do I have to do anything special or just confogure the interface.

I do seethis if I do sh ip int br

If you do a "show inventory"

The TwinGig Converter Module and the independent SFPs should be present.

remember that The Twin Gig Converter is not supported until 12.2(35)SE2 as per the link below:

Table 1 Catalyst 3750-E and Catalyst 3560-E Switches Supported Hardware

I do see the convertors. so do I just configure the 25/-28 ports as normal gig ports?

I am a few days before I can try this and just wanted to be sure that have all my bases covered.

I am also curious to what happens if you configure ports 25-28 and the Ten gig ports?

Here is part of the show inventory.
