When 10Mb tape library port connected to Cisco Nexus 2k, physicla link not coming up

[harsha shankariah]

                   Hi,

I have nexus 2k uplinked with 5k Nexus, When i am trying to connect 10Mb tape library server port, its physically not coming UP, I have tried to harden the port on 2k by setting the speed/duplex/bpdu enabling but still not working. Can any one help/suggest up on the same. But the same tape library when connected to Cisco 2960 switch its come up & works fine.

Thanks & Regards

That's because Nexus 2K does NOT support 10 Mbps.

thanks for the support, But do we have any document from cisco which says that 10Mbps not support on Nexus.

Hi,

As per Table 3 of the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders Data Sheet only 100BASE-T and 1000BASE-T are supported.

The "slowest" Nexus is the 2224TP/2248TP which can support 100BaseTx or 1000BaseTx.

There is no Nexus that can support 10BaseTx.

Besides, 10 Mbps tape drive????  You need to find replacements for those.  I mean, how long does it take to do backup?

Its the tapelibrary Managment port, We have asked them to change to gig interface.
