cisco asr 1001 compatible fibre modules

[paulkilcoyne]

Hi there,

we've recently bought a cisco asr 1001 Router and I have a number of interface slots. I want to populate these with fibre modules.

Can you tell me which fibre modules are compatible please? Are the regular SFPs ok to use or is there a special asr series of SFPs to use?

Many thanks,

Paul

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

So am I correct in saying that the GLC-SX-MM and GLC-T are not compatible with the Cisco ASR 1001?

Thanks,

It is compatible.

Paul,

You are correct that GLC-T & GLC-SX-MM are not supported with ASR1000 platform.

Following link confirms that:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/transceiver_modules/compatibility/matrix/OL_6981.html#wp131775

Following SFP are supported with ASR1000 platform:

SFP-GE-T

SFP-GE-S
SFP-GE-L
SFP-GE-Z
CWDM SFP
DWDM SFP

GLC-BX-D
GLC-BX-U

I have handled similar case yesterday where GLC-T wouldn't work aith ASR1k & I confirmed that this would not be supported in future as well.

HTH,

Amit

That's correct and I agree with you.

The output below is from my ASR 1002 and a GLC-LH:

NAME: "subslot 0/0 transceiver 0", DESCR: "GE LX"
PID: N/A                 , VID: 0000, SN: FNS13345D11

Guys,

thanks very much for your help.

Is the SFP-10G-SR compatible with the Cisco ASR 1001?

Thanks,

Paul

No, it isn't supported with ASR1K as well.

Hi Leo,

The built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports on the Cisco ASR1002 Router and 5x1 GE SPA does not support GLC-T ???

Thanks very much !  

[Leo Laohoo]

For the ASR, you need "SFP-GE-T".

[lcd_shouldit]

Oh God ,  I made a mistake , I have bought GLC-T , I looked GLC-SX-MM can work , so I thought GLC-T should work too ........

[Leo Laohoo]

If you haven't broken the seal then there's a fair chance you can return the module.

I based my decision on this link:  Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Modules Compatibility Matrix, Table 11 Router Support

Thank you Leo , what I only can do now is praying.

[Leo Laohoo]

You sure you can't use the GLC-T somewhere else in your network?

[lcd_shouldit]

Good news is GLC-T works on ASR1K.
