 We have a similar setup but with X2 interfaces, so no X2 to 
 SFP+ convertors and that works just fine. Have you checked 
 the transceiver parameters ?

Hi Wim,

Thanks for your reply.

It appears that all of the values are withing normal operating parameters:

#show int ten2/0/2 trans det
ITU Channel not available (Wavelength not available),
Transceiver is internally calibrated.
mA: milliamperes, dBm: decibels (milliwatts), NA or N/A: not applicable.
++ : high alarm, +  : high warning, -  : low warning, -- : low alarm.
A2D readouts (if they differ), are reported in parentheses.
The threshold values are calibrated.

  High Alarm  High Warn  Low Warn   Low Alarm
  Temperature Threshold   Threshold  Threshold  Threshold
Port   (Celsius)  (Celsius)   (Celsius)  (Celsius)  (Celsius)
- --  --  -  -  -

 Maybe they are not within limit causing a shutdown of the 
 interface ? (temperature, input power, output power). The 
 first batch of (non-cisco) X2 transceivers we got, all gave 
 wrong information about thresholds e.d. After replacing them, 
 everything was fine.
 sh int te1/0/1 transc detail
 should give you this info. We are running version 122-50.SE2.

 Greetings,
 
 I have an open TAC case about this but I figured I'd ask here as well.
 
 I recently installed 10 3750-Es in 5 2-member stacks. Each 
 stack has 2 uplinks to a 6509-VSS. I'm using X2 to SFP+ 
 converters and 10G SFP+ modules on both ends of the links 
 between the stacks and the VSS. In each stack I'm using 
 interface Ten1/0/1 and Ten2/0/1. There is currently no real 
 traffic on any of the links. The plan is to do a forklift 
 upgrade of our existing production network and I've set the 
 3750/VSS up in a test environment. With the exception of two 
 hosts talking iperf to each other, the network is quiet.
 
 The problem I'm seeing is this: after about 6 to 8 hours a 
 10G interface on the 3750 side will go down. Saying 'show int 
 Ten2/0/1' will show the media type as Not Present:
 
 Full-duplex, 10Gb/s, link type is auto, media type is Not Present
 
 as opposed to:
 
 Full-duplex, 10Gb/s, link type is auto, media type is SFP-10GBase-SR
 
 I am seeing this behavior on three individual switches and in 
 each case it is ten2/0/1 that fails. I've replaced the X2 
 converter, the SFP+ module and moved the converter to 
 Ten2/0/2 but the symptoms persist. I RMA'd one of the 
 switches and just installed the replacement, hopefully this 
 will solve the problem.
 
 I also checked software compatibilty and the switches are 
 running (C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 12.2(53)SE2
 
 Has anyone seen this before?

Re: [c-nsp] 6500 line card mounted cable management bars (??)

2010-04-21 Thread Matthew White (MAWHI)


 copper cards.  Lots of modular solutions, cable assembles, patch panels, 
 available.

Panduit makes a cable assemblies for this purpose. Might not be exactly what 
the OP was looking for, but it may help.
