C3KX-NM-1G: Port confusion

bhagen
Level 1
Level 1

2 questions, actually:

 

1. Which port is which?

2. Why am I seeing ten gig ports in the switch config?

 

I have "inherited" a stack of 3 3750x-48's. Each one has its own C3KX-NM-1G module with 4 ports.

Each C3KX-NM-1G has 2 GLC-SX-MM gbics installed, with fiber in each module. All is working fine.

 

 

In poking around the config of these switches, I notice the following ports:

Gi1/1/1 up up Trunk to LL
Gi1/1/2 up up Trunk to 4th Floor
Gi1/1/3 down down
Gi1/1/4 down down
Te1/1/1 down down
Te1/1/2 down down

 

QUESTIONS:

1. There are 6 ports listed, but only 4 physical ports. Which physical ports do the Te1/1/1 and Te1/1/2 ports refer to? I know on the C3KX-NM-10G module, physical ports 2 and 4 are the 10GB ports, and they are marked that way (g2/te1, g4/te2). The ports on the C3KX-NM-1G modules are only marked G1-G4.

 

2. My understanding is that the C3KX-NM-1G is *not* a 10GB module, and can't handle, for instance, a GLC-10G-T-A SFP+ gbic. But...why am I seeing ten gig ports listed? Can the those ports be used for 10GB? Specifically, can I use a GLC-10G-T-A SFP+ gbic in these ports? I'm pretty sure the answer is "no"...I'm just confused as to why they would be listed in the config.

 

Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi
No you cant its only 1GB capable only , if it was the 10gb module the fiorst 2 ports are either 10gb or 1GB depending what you set them at and what sfp to use thats why 6 would be listed , why its listed in 1gb module it may contain or read same firmware as say the C3KX-NM-10G but dont waste money buying 10gb sfp as it wont work in that module
