I have a couple of Cisco WS-G5483 1000Base-T GBICs that do the following when inserted into a switch:
- don't generate the console message indicating that a GBIC has been inserted
- in the output of a SHOW INTERFACE STATUS, the GBIC is listed as a 1000Base-LX GBIC
-you can't draw link on this GBIC
Anyone else seen this, and do you know of a cure?

Hi Mike,
Are you plugging these into a 3500XL or 2900XL switch by any chance ?
If so, these switches dont support the 5483 only the 5482 (think thats the number) its still a 1000Base GBIC but an older version.
Cheers

Sean,
The testing was done with a 3508XL, but I've got WS-5483 1000base-T GBICs in service in 3508XL switches all over campus. They're not having this problem. I was actually testing about 12 WS-5483 GBICs on this 3508XL only 2 are showing the problem. The rest happily come up as 1000base-T.
