Is there a Cisco switch(non-modular preferably) which fulfils those requirements:
1) 12 or more 1000BASE-T ports 2) 2x SFP port for 1000BASE-LX10 SFP's 3) 2x 10GBASE-T ports(for IBM 10Gb iSCSI Host Interface Card 81Y9613, which has two 10GBASE-T interfaces) First option would be Catalyst 4900M with following modules: a) WS-X4908-10G-RJ45(https://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps6021/product_bulletin_c25-575166.html) for 10GBASE-T ports b) "20-Port Wire-Speed 10/100/1000 (RJ-45) Half Card" for 1000BASE-T ports c) TwinGig converter for one of the eight X2 ports for "2x SFP port for 1000BASE-LX10 SFP's". However, according to specification(http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps6021/ps9310/Data_Sheet_Cat_4900M.html), "Cisco TwinGig Converter Module support" is "Yes (half cards only)". Second option would be 4948E, which has 48 1000BASE-T ports and 4x SFP+ ports. Are there a SFP+ 10GBASE-T SFP's? If there are, would they fit physically because all four SFP+ ports seem to be very close to each other physically? In addition, Cisco Nexus 5000 series seemed to be interesting(1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-LX10 requirements are easily fulfilled), but I couldn't find 10GBASE-T module for this product family. There are modules with SFP+ support, but as long as there are no 10GBASE-T SFP+ transceivers, it doesn't help. Any suggestion? At the moment the first option seems to be most promising, but even this has it's hesitations with the TwinGig support for 2x 1000BASE-LX10 SFP's. regards, martin _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
