GEC on 2950G and 2970

[rodrigo-henry]

Can we configure a GEC with this scenario?

A 2950G-48 with two Gbics (one Gbic5483 and one Gbic5484) with a 2970G-24TS (one of the ports 10/100/1000T and one GLC-SX-MM).

The idea is create a GEC with differents types of Media (UTP and Multimode Fiber).

Regards,

Rodrigo.

Media type should not matter as long as all interfaces are gigabit.

Thanks for the answer!

Ok, but what happens with these cases:

- In one side a Gbic5483 (only 1000T) and in the other side a UTP port 10/100/1000T, is it possible?

- Can we make a Gigaetherchannel in a 2970G-24TS with a UTP port (10/100/1000T) and a SFP port? Doesn't matter the number or the group of the ports?

For example: make a Gigaetherchannel with the First Port10/100/1000T and the First Port SFP of the 2970.

Best Regards,

Rodrigo.

Hi Henry ,

Yes , you can configure gigabit ether channel with diffirent media types , keep in mind that all the ports should be running at the same speed and configurations.

Let me know if you have any questions .

Thanks Laxmi,

No i don't have questions.

The idea of this message was to confirm if i can make a gigaetherchannel with a 2950G (with one Gbic MM Fiber and the other with a Gbic 1000T) and a 2970G (one of the ports 10/100/1000T and a SFP port with a GLC MM Fiber).

Did Cisco Have a document with this information?

Best Regards,

Hi Henry ,

I couldn't find document tlaking about mixed media channel , however i tried in the lab it works .

From my understanding , ether channel only check for the speed , duplex and configuration mismatches ECT it doesn't check on the media type .
