Connecting NEXUS 5548 1gig interface to 100mbps

[sabihurrehman]

Hi,

I have a 5548 that I need to connect to a firewall that supports 100 Mbps only.

Can I configure interface speed on Nexus 5548 interface (GLC-T) to 100 Mbps inorder to connect it to the firewall??

Regards,

Sabih

Hi Sabih,

The interfaces on a Nexus 5548 can NOT be configured as 100 Mbps.

If you wish to connect to the firewall via a 100 Mbps connection, you will need to make use of a Fabric Extender (Nexus 2000) that supports 100 Mbps.
