Nexus 56128P Transceiver Support

[mlinder01]

Hi All,

The documentations (datasheets, compatability matrix and release notes) are not clear so i would like to ask the community if those transceivers are supported and maybe someone use it in productive environment...

- GLC-SX-MM(D) on Nexus 56128P SFP+ Ports is this supported? (there is also no entry for Nexus 5600 Series in 1G Compatability Matrix)

- I'm pretty sure that SFP-10G-SR is working on Nexus 56128P SFP+ Ports but somehow it is missing in the Nexus 5600 Release Notes. It is working right?

Many thanks,

Manuel

Hi,

Based on the information from the data sheets, these switches are only 10/40Gig and not 1Gig.

Cisco Nexus 5672UP Switch: The Cisco Nexus 5672UP (Figure 1) is a 1RU 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet switch offering wire-speed performance for up to seventy-two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports (using Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable

Hi Reza,

Thanks for the comment but on the same link just some lines lower;

"The Cisco Nexus 5672UP offers 48 fixed 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports of which 16 ports can be unified ports (UP)"

So whats true?

Regards,

Manuel

Hi Manuel,

You are correct.  The ports support 1/10Gig not just 10Gig.  I apologize for misinforming you.

So, are you trying to use GLC-SX-MM (1gig SFPs) on the 5700 series?

Do you already have these SFPs or you are planning on purchasing them?

Thanks,

Hi Reza,

No Problem!

Yes, we are planing to have some 1G Transceivers on the Nexus 56128P

thanks,

Hi Manual,

Both GLC-SX-MM and GLC-LH-SM are supported on the 5600 series. You can also use GLC-LH-SMD and GLC-SX-MMD

I have used above optics on the 5500 with no issues.

see table-6 in this link:
