GLC-T VID:V03 not working with Cisco Catalyst 4500X

[Brej007]

Hello,

I have deployed 2 Cisco 4500X and connected the many devices arround (Router, switches, firewalls, BlueCoat proxy SG as well,etc....) using the GLC-T and SFP.

For the BlueCoat appliance I used a GLC-T ( the PID and VIC are not specifyed); it works for a few weeks and failled after.

I bought the others GLC-T ( PID: GLC-T , VID: V03 ), the system recognize it but the port is staying down.

Is there any incompatibility with those GLC-T version? What can I do to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Once again, thank you for this helpful information.
Is it possible to do this upgrade from my current Version 03.07.03.E to Version 03.10.0E ?

Yes, it is possible to upgrade from 3.7.X to 3.10.X.  However, kindly read the Release Notes carefully (very carefully).

The Release Notes will have a list of things needed to do in order to get to 3.10.X.  For instance, a ROMmon upgrade to 15.0(1r)SG11 is necessary before upgrading to 3.10.X.

Hi Leo,
My current ROMmon version is :
ROM: 15.0(1r)SG12, can this match ?

Your current ROMmon is "higher" than the recommended version. This means you can upgrade to 3.10.X.

Thanks Leo,
I will let you know the result once I upgrade de switches.
