Dual attach impossible on 2 Nexus 5K

Clement BONNAL

Level 1

                   Hello,

I try to dual attach a 2960 to my 2 nexus on which peer link and keepalive are OK.

The ports are down (notconnect) on the 2 nexus, and I don't see any config error !

Another detail, when the SFP is plugged into the port, led is orange, whereas when I connect the fiber, led turns off

I join few config about the portchannel, and shows relative to this :

Please help if you find any configuration errors or tips to bring up the portchannel.

Hi,

If the optics are working when you are close to the switch with a 2 meter cable, then your optics are good. When you are 100 meter far a way from the switch and the same optics are not working, you most likely have an issue with your fiber.

Are you using patch panels?

Hi,

Can you verify your fiber and the optics are good?

You may have to switch the fiber strands around on one side of the connection (2960 side) and test again.

what is the output of "sh interface Ethernet1/11"?

what is the output of "sh vpc"?

HTH

Hello,

When I connect the 2960 by a 2m long direct fiber on the 2 nexus (LC/LC with GLC-LH-SM SFP), it is OK (I have had to do a shut/no shut on the int Po102).

As this result is good, and Po brings UP on the both Nexus, I moved the 2960 to its final location (100m far away). But in this configuration with the same SFP, link doesn't go up.

- Fiber strands are switched on the 2960.

- Here is the output of sh int eth1/11 :

Ethernet1/11 is down (Link not connected)

I checked the 85m fiber with a TP-LINK fiber converter and this is OK, is there a SFP power problem ?

Hi,

If the optics are working when you are close to the switch with a 2 meter cable, then your optics are good. When you are 100 meter far a way from the switch and the same optics are not working, you most likely have an issue with your fiber.

Hi,

Problem is solved now.

When I opened the optic tray which was installed by another subcontractor, I see fiber SC connectors were not plugged totally into intermediate female/female SC connectors, so the light wasn't redirected well into pigtail...

It seems that TPLINK fiber converter have less requirements about link quality than Cisco SFP!

Thank you for your help.
