Connecting Meraki switches via fiber

Hey Guys,

 

I have set up my Meraki switches in my server room to test my current environment and everything works flawlessly. When I hook up my Meraki switches to my existing environment one works and one doesn't. The only difference I can find is the connection that didn't work is connected via SFP+ uplink ports and the one that did work is connected via SFP uplink ports.

 

I have a MS350-48p-L3 switch with a MA-SFP-10GB-LR plugged into SFP+ uplink port to a MS125-24P switch MA-SFP-10GB-LR plugged into SFP+ uplink port via 9/125 single mode fiber. (This one didn't work when I connect it to my existing fiber cable)

 

The one that did work was a MS210-48FP switch with a MA-SFP-10GB-LR plugged into a SFP uplink port to a MS210-48FP switch with a MA-SFP-10GB-LR plugged into a SFP uplink port via 9/124 single mode fiber.

  • Have you verified the 2 fibers being used to connect these two switches are functional? 
  • Did you look at Show Transceiver Detail for each transceiver to determine if the transmit and receive light levels fall within spec?

 

Yes my network is currently up and running. So the fiber cables are functional. 

 

The MA-SFP-10GB-LR has a wavelength of 1310nm which is single mode fiber. As stated in my original post that is the type of fiber in my current network.
