Hello Technical Team,
We have 2 Cisco ME4900 Switch with 3 Modules inside: Below are the detail for the Module:
Mod Ports Card Type Model Serial No.
---+-----+--------------------------------------+------------------+-----------
1 8 4900M 10GE (X2) WS-C4900M
2 24 10GE (X2), 1000BaseX (SFP) WS-X4908-10GE
3 20 10/100/1000BaseT (RJ45) WS-X4920-GB-RJ45
I am trying to build trunk between these 2 Switches by using 10GE(X2) 1000Base X (SFP) Ports but unfortunately I am fail to do that. Is there any specific Command to make trunk or port channel between 2 ME-4900 Switch?
Thanks,
JH

May you please share the configuration.

Hello Rajeevsh,
Kindly see attached sh run for one of the switch. I tried on different port but no effect to make them trunk. Another thing when I tried to built trunk on 10GE (X2), 1000BaseX (SFP) port and give command
"sh ip int gigabit 2/9" i saw the out out mention as (inactive). I hear we need to make group for the
10GE (X2), 1000BaseX (SFP) port because we are using 1 port from X2 convertor.
Can u tell me how to make the port group?
Thanks,
JH

Hey JH,
Indeed we need to activate the link with command:
4500-6E(config)#hw-module module 6 port-group 1 select ?
gigabitethernet Select this port-group's gigabit interfaces
tengigabitethernet Select this port-group's 10G interfaces
You may choose either of the two options, depending upon the SFP installed. Once the port comes up configure the trunking between boxes.
HTH.

RS.

Hello Rajesh,
I am going to built the trunk on 10GE (X2), 1000BaseX (SFP) WS-X4908-10GE Ports and use 2 ports from the Same GBIC convertor. So for this I will use below command to activate:
4500-6E(config)#hw-module module 6 port-group 1 select ?
gigabitethernet Select this port-group's gigabit interfaces
and after activation how i will select these command? I mean to say that I will selection as
Interface range gigabit 2/9-10
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan all
Kindly let me know that this is correct?

Hey JH,
Little correction, the module 6 in my last post refers to module where CVR-X2-SFP is installed so in your case it will be i believe module number 2. Also check the port group number to which port 9 & 10 belong (i guess 5). So the command will look like:
4500-6E(config)#hw-module module 2 port-group 5 select gigabitethernet
*Please double check the port-group number*
And after that you should be able to configure normal trunk configuration:
Interface range gigabit 2/9-10
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan all

Hi RS,
I have below Modules:
1 8 4900M 10GE (X2) WS-C4900M
2 24 10GE (X2), 1000BaseX (SFP) WS-X4908-10GE
3 20 10/100/1000BaseT (RJ45) WS-X4920-GB-RJ45
If I do show run then I have follow Ports order:
1 8 4900M 10GE (X2) WS-C4900M
interface TenGigabitEthernet1/1 TO TenGigabitEthernet1/8
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 24 10GE (X2), 1000BaseX (SFP) WS-X4908-10GE
interface TenGigabitEthernet2/1 TO interface TenGigabitEthernet2/8
interface GigabitEthernet2/9 TO interface GigabitEthernet2/24
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 20 10/100/1000BaseT (RJ45) WS-X4920-GB-RJ45
interface GigabitEthernet3/1 TO interface GigabitEthernet3/20
So i am going to use SFP base X2 Convertor for Trunk between another ME-4900 Switch so do do I use 2/9-10 ports from 1st 2 SFP Ports from GBIC?
Further what is the command to check the port group ?
Kindly see the SH running for your advice.
Thanks,
JH

Hey JH,
Sorry for the late reply, i was away from work.
Use the command #show hw-module module 2 port-group, you may also check the following link for more details:

Regarding your other question:
So i am going to use SFP base X2 Convertor for Trunk between another ME-4900 Switch so do do I use 2/9-10 ports from 1st 2 SFP Ports from GBIC - Yes you may :)
