Hello Nicolas,

I'm afraid the GE linecard is too old in comparison with the IOS image

according to release notes for 12.2(33)SXI  linecards of 61xx series are not supported anymore:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SX/release/notes/hardware.html#wp2562211

Gigabit Ethernet Switching Modules

•WS-X6748-SFP 48-port Gigabit Ethernet SFP Switching Module

•WS-X6724-SFP 24-port Gigabit Ethernet SFP Switching Module

•WS-X6816-GBIC 16-port Gigabit Ethernet GBIC Switching Module

•WS-X6516A-GBIC 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet GBIC Switching Module

•WS-X6516-GBIC 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet GBIC Switching Module

•WS-X6416-GBIC 16-port Gigabit Ethernet GBIC Switching Module

•WS-X6408A-GBIC 8-port Gigabit Ethernet GBIC Switching Module

•WS-X6408-GBIC 8-port Gigabit Ethernet GBIC Switching Module

6148 is not listed

this should explain also for the original poster

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Hi Giuseppe,

thx for your answer but this is not correct. If you look closer to the release notes (10/100/1000 Ethernet Switching Modules) you will see that the modul 6148 is supported.

Hello Nicolas,

sorry for misleading information looking at the same release notes for another thread I have found out that the linecard is supported

Edit:

you are fine 6148-AF are listed as supported under the 10/100 linecards category

WS-X6148-45AF

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SX/release/notes/hardware.html#wp4631272

if you haven't already done I would open a service request  for this issue

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Hello Giuseppe,

we believe that we hit the bug described in the field notice:

Field Notice: FN - 26096-WS-X6148-GE-TX,  WS-X6548-GE-TX-May Drop Valid Packets on Egress-Hardware Modification  Has Been Implemented

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/ts/fn/200/fn26096.html

Two of our modules are affected by this issue. We open a SR and make a RMA for the moduls.

Thx a lot for support,

Nicolas

Hi

Thanks Giuslar for that you are engage in this case.

Are you working at Cisco ?

I have still the problem and don't know how to solf it.

Hello,

look at Nicolas' last post you may be facing the same issue he refers to a field notice about some specific linecards

see

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/ts/fn/200/fn26096.html

if the serial number of your linecars is within the ranges declared in above range you should ask for an RMA (haraware substitution)

>> Are you working at Cisco ?

no I do not work for  Cisco, people working at Cisco has the Cisco logo near their icon.

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Hi

Yes my card is in that range. Trying to get a new one and hope that it will solve the

problem.

I will come back how it works.

Thanks a lot

Hi, did you get the card replaced?  I think I'm running into the same problem.

Hi Mark.

Yes I had got a new card and it works. It's a long time since that so I dont remember all of it.

But it was some problem with small packet, not special witch arp request but to all packet that was

under a specific size, I dont remember the exact size.

Hope you can resolve your problem.

God luck.

regards

Yngve
