The port is configured to "speed 1000", which AFAIK required if you use 1G SFPs instead of the default 10G ones ... is there anything else to changes/disable? As the same SFP works with the 2960S, and the same SFP works in the NX for a link to a 2960S (on the same port even), there must be some difference in the way the NX and the 2960S handles the port ... also, there are no messages at all in the logs or on the console when I hook up the Nortel switch ... I reckon if I can't get it to work with the NX, I might as well just hook up the link via the stacked 2960S, even though it's not originally there for that ... but with the dual 10G-Link I have to the 2960, it has enough BW to spare for the temporary connection ... that 10 year old Nortel gear is going back to Cisco anyway once all the connections are moved over ... trade-ins are nice ... save money, get rid of junk HW ;) Tnx, -Garry _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
