I have a WS-C4948 and want to have it use two of its SFP slots instead of the GigabitEthernet port 47& 48.
I have put in two glc-lh-sm in SFP slots 45 & 47 and have them connected to a C3560G-24TS which also have two glc-lh-sm installed.
I cannot figure out how to select which ports the WS-C4948 uses. I have read that it can only use 48 of its 52 ports, so I presume there is some way to select which ports are used. I cannot find the information from the C4500 guide, or anything more specific to the WS-C4948.
The only commands I have found with regards to SFP devices is"show hw-module subslot"
from:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps4999/products_tech_note09186a00807a30d6.shtml
But in 'enable' mode, there is no such command.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thank you.
[Version 12.2(25)EWA2;
module: 1 48 1000BaseX (SFP) Supervisor WS-C4948 ]

The only thing I could find was the following reference in the 4900 Installation Guide:
"The Cisco 4948 switch has four ports that can be configured with any combination of SFP modules with LC connectors, as shown in Figure 4-1. The interface configuration mode command media-type sfp|rj45 can be used to configure the media type for these ports in the switch software and determines whether the SFP or the RJ-45 connector is used. The default is SFP."

As Tom stated, when you plug in an SFP it will by default be the enabled port for Gi1/45-48 as applicable. If you want to use the built in RJ-45 port instead, use the command "media type rj-45" under the interface.
Here is a working example and the result is shown in the picture attached (snipped from CiscoWorks' CiscoView):
interface GigabitEthernet1/45
description sw-hqmsr-a10-1 3:4
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
speed nonegotiate
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/46
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 3509
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/47
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
media-type rj45
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/48
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
media-type rj45
Hope this helps.
