glc-fe-100bx-d ,crc error with ME 3400 --(ME-3400-24FS-A )

[Ahmad Asr]

hi

when i try to connect (glc-fe-100bx-d) sfp with my cisco switch ME3400 (ME-3400-24FS-A),

i got this error (

GBIC_SECURITY_CRYPT-4-VN_DATA_CRC_ERROR: GBIC in port Fa0/15 has bad crc)

So I try to change the software release   from (Cisco IOS Release 12.2(55)SE) , to (Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE) and (Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE2) ,

but It give’s same error message .

Thank You

This error is due to an unsupported GBIC in the switch, there are a couple of undocumented commands that may work on some switches to allow the GBICs to work, try these commands:

service unsupported-transceiver

no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid

Failing that you may have to try and find another GBIC that is supported.

If the Catalyst switch is running IOS 12.2(25)SE and above, the commands are available with the ? before that they are hidden so you won't see them, just enter them and they should be accepted.

Also bear in mind that they are unsupported for a reason and it probably isn't a good idea to use them in a production network.

Cisco TAC won't help with any fault finding until they are replaced either.

Dear chris,

actually i read about this command but i am hesitating in using it since it is not supported by cisco so i am trying to  find another safe solution to fix this issue

Thank you for your reply .

Is the GBIC you are using a Cisco product or a third-party equivalent? 

[Ahmad Asr]

hi Tom

it's cisco product .

[chris-hart]

That looks like a third party equivalent manufactured by Vayray Fiber Optic Cable Inc in China, if it isn't an official Cisco item so its unlikley to be recognised or supported without using the commands above.

Dear Chris,

it's cisco product not Verify product this link refer only to spf details but it's from cisco .
