Metro 3750 with 100BaseFX SFP

[dsoderstrom]

Hi all,

Do anyone know if it's possible to run MPLS over a 100BaseFX SFP in the ES port of a Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Edition?

Yes its possible, Enhanced Service (ES) ports are meant to carry out specially MPLS and EoMPLS with with QOS manipulation and some other features as well.

Here is a link which will help you configure the same.

No. It's only possible to run a 1Gb sfp on the 3750ME's ES ports.

Hi Daniel,

As jny told, i do see the support of only followins sfp in the ES Ports.

1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-ZX, 1000BASE-T, coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM), and dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) SFPs.

So where come question of supporting mpls on 100Base SFP on ES ports of 3750s???

No it won't

Rate if it does,

Ok, Just wanted to reduce the confusion.

1) MPLS support : YES.

Its part of the software. And the IOS for 3750 supports MPLS to be configured on ES ports, with more QOS and other functions as well.

2) 100 BASE SFP Support - YES.

Now you have a question clubbed in for hardware support of 100BASE SFP on 3750. What ever SFP you put in ES ports MPLS will run. Now for support of hardware question.

Yes 100BaseSFP is supported in 3750 series Gigabit SFP uplinks.

Here is the link:

Although you are not at all utilizing the 3750 to the fullest by using a 100BASE SFP but again it depends on your requirement.

But the support is there. :-)
