How to up link 3550

imranraheel · ‎10-30-2006

i have a 3550 i want to up link it using its gbic module to some other switch i know i can utilize 2960 or e500 but both of them do not have GBIC modules so what to do is there any option to uplink GBIC with SFP

you can use tranciver in between switches.

I mean F-Cat convertor

you will have to use specific transceiver(s) to accomodate this.

please see the following link for the GBIC/SFP compatibility matrix:

(this has part numbers for the different types)

You can use a SC to LC cable i.e. GBIC to SFP.

Mohan,

Cisco 2960 dosent come with GBIC modules, now all the latest switchs i.e. 3560, 2960, 2948, 3750 all are comming with SFP modules.

Cisco is not doing GBICs on these switches.

Suresh.
