How to configure connection between UCS FI 6120 to C2960S using Twin Ax cable ?

[yllow]

Hi expert,

Just wondering is it possible to connect UCS FI directly to C2960S using Twin Ax Cable (3M long) ?

Was given a task to test it out, hope you experts could lend a hand

Cheers

Hi,

It does work with UCS.  As for the 2960 series, it appears Twinax is compatible with 2960 series:

You may want to try one anyway since they are a lot cheaper than fiber patch cords and SFP+

Hi Reza,

Thank for the information Greatly appreciated it alot.

However, i been encountered the following error while i connect Cisco Twin Ax (Cisco Branded) cable from FI to 2960S.

*Mar  1 00:32:22.764: %GBIC_SECURITY_CRYPT-4-ID_MISMATCH: Identification check failed for GBIC in port Gi1/0/25

*Mar  1 00:32:22.764: %PHY-4-UNSUPPORTED_TRANSCEIVER: Unsupported transceiver found in Gi1/0/25

Tried using the following commands as well as upgrade to latest IOS (15):

service unsupported-transceiver

no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid

Still recevied the same error as above.

Should i be configuring trunk port on interface1/0/25 or ? i am confuse somehow =(

Hope to hear from you soon

Cheers
