Problem With Gbic Fiber in sfp module

pedram rabeti
Level 1
Level 1

Hi ,

I have Fiber Uplink port and want to connect in SFP port ( 2960 ) with Gbic connector . But Port on which the fiber is attached is down.

I used the other switch with SFP module ( Planet switch ) for testing fiber links , its  working properly .

I have bypass bandwith with externded switch (planet) to convert fiber link to ethernet and connect One of the pors to cisco switch .

Please help me to up my SFP port on cisco 2960 switch and remove Addition switch (Planet switch ).

Thanks

I think you have an OM1 fibre optic link.

Hi,

Have you ever seen this link :

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps4999/products_tech_note09186a00807a30d6.shtml

which is introduced this type of module. Also this link :

https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2038428

which is discussed a little bit more in depth.

As you guessed it could becasue of some mismatch configuration and need to check your provider side too.

Regards

What is the model number of the SFP module you are using on the 2960?

Hi ,

Prod.# : GLC-SX-MM    Cisco Malaysia

P/N : 30-1301-02

Regard

On the Cisco switch, can you post the output to the command "sh interface "?

yes here output command : sh interface :

2960#show interfaces gigabitEthernet 0/21

GigabitEthernet0/21 is down, line protocol is down (notconnect)

  Hardware is Gigabit Ethernet, address is d4a0.2a6b.d315 (bia d4a0.2a6b.d315)

     reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255

  Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set

  Keepalive not set

  Auto-duplex, Auto-speed, link type is auto, media type is 1000BaseSX SFP

  input flow-control is off, output flow-control is unsupported

  ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00

  Last input never, output 03:41:20, output hang never

  Last clearing of "show interface" counters never

  Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0

  Queueing strategy: fifo

  Output queue: 0/40 (size/max)

  5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec

     0 unknown protocol drops

     0 babbles, 0 late collision, 0 deferred

     0 lost carrier, 0 no carrier, 0 pause output

     0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out

Maybe the ends are the other way around.

How far is the other end?

Not far ,  about 300 meter

Not far ,  about 300 meter

What is the exact distance?

GLC-SX-MM can reach 300 metre if your fibre optic link is OM2.

Read Cisco Small Form-Factor Pluggable Modules for Gigabit Ethernet Applications Data Sheet and refer to Table 1.

The exact distance is 270 meter . But this link on planet switch with this Gbic is working properly.

Have you tried by issuing 'speed nonegotiate' SFP ?(or both ends?)

Thx

MS

Hi ,

The speed mode not change when SFP module attached in switch .

Thank you

I think you have an OM1 fibre optic link.

Hi Leo

Thank you for replay

This link will operate properly in the past ( on 2960 ) . We did not have a problem until it was changed by provider .

provider change other side router .

My optic link not changed in 5 past years and this link work with other switch . I think I need to change parameter on intherface. (Fiber)

Hi Hesam ,

Thanks for posting links . Cisco switch just work with CISCO SFP . I Think SFP attached  in other side of my Fiber link  is not cisco SFP .i should be call with provider and check other side SFP.

I am waiting for your comments

Best Regard
