nexus 5548 10GB-LR interfaces not coming up

We are trying to connect 2 nexus 5558UP (5.1.(3)N1(1)) with 10G-SFP+-LR interfaces.

The interfaces are not genuine cisco's (smartoptics) but as far as we can tell, they are accepted by the hardware.

If we take a look at the optical levels, we can see that the switches can see eachother (double-checked by bringing down one interface to see if optical levels really disappears) on optical level, well within limits.

I found a notice about changing debounce timers but this doesn't help, setting it to 0 or 1000 doesn't make a difference.

Copies of the different show int commands can be found at the end of this text.

Anyone has a clue what still could be wrong ? Suggestions on what could be causing this or to get more (debug) info on why the interface link stays down allthough the optical link is ok ?

How about the interface configuration?

Both sides must be configured identically, for example dot1q trunk, nonegotiate.

regards,

Leo

the interfaces have identical configurations as we tested them on 1 site first using a 10G-CU interface and during the test everything worked.

I will change them back to access ports to double check

Try using service unsupported-transceiver or use similar transceiver SFP-10G-LR. See the any notable difference in show interface eth1/3 transceiver detail commands whn using SFP-10G-LR. Also how about isung diffrent port in different ASIC e.g from eth 1/9-14.

no success, already had the unsupported-transceiver command

changing to other asic didn't help.

Waiting some feedback from my SFP supplier and SmartOptics.

did you ever get an answer to this problem - i think we are seeing the same issue on our 5548
