I have to come up with solution to interconnect two data centers the major one with 2 Cat6509 and 1 Cat6509 on the remote data center. All using Xenpack 10GIG Ethernet interfaces. What kind of requirements I need to ask to my ISP in terms of fiber to transport the protocol accross the MEN?
Choice of Media and Optics-Available in IEEE 802.3ae standard interfaces: 10GBASE-SR (26 m over 62.5-micron FDDI grade multimode fiber, 300 m over 50-micron 2000 MHz*km multimode fiber) 10GBASE-LR (10 km over single-mode fiber), 10GBASE-ER (40 km over single-mode fiber), 10GBASE-LX4 (300 m over multimode fiber); and IEEE 802.3ak standard interfaces: 10GBASE-CX4 (15 m over copper infiniband cable); and DWDM optics (up to 32 wavelengths over one strand of single mode fiber; up to 80km); all available in XENPAK form factor for modularity and flexibility in deployment. Here is the document on CISCO CATALYST 6500 SERIES 10 GIGABIT ETHERNET MODULES.
Thanks for the feedback. In my case I wil be using the Xenpack-10GB-LR because I am under 10Km distance.
Is there any special configuration or just configure the ports as DOT1Q trunk between the swicthes and it will work?
