%PM_SCP-SP-3-TRANSCEIVER_UNSUPPORTED: Unsupported transceiver in LAN port 5/6

[ifabrizio]

Dear All,

I have purchase an SFP transceiver branded LINKSYS model MGBSX1, when i plug it in a Supervisor Engine 32 8GE/Version 12.2(17r)SX3.

I got the following error:

%PM_SCP-SP-3-TRANSCEIVER_UNSUPPORTED: Unsupported transceiver in LAN port 5/6

the interface 5/6 has the following state:

sh int gigabitEthernet 5/6 status

Port         Name               Status       Vlan       Duplex  Speed Type
Gi5/6                           disabled     1            auto   1000 1000BaseSX

and this configuration:

interface GigabitEthernet5/6
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 999
shutdown
udld port
macro description giga_ports
spanning-tree link-type point-to-point
spanning-tree guard loop
end

Could you help me pls to understand why the SFP transceiver doesn't work?

Best regards.

Igor.

You can only use "Cisco SFPs"

try

"service unsupported-transceiver"

I am getting the same error

%PM_SCP-SP-3-TRANSCEIVER_UNSUPPORTED: Unsupported transceiver in LAN port 5/1

and also minor alarm is set on slot 5. Is it due to same TRANSCEIVER_UNSUPPORTED error?

Can't put linksys in a cisco system.

Or any other brand for that matter.

  You can as Jan said  it's just that you won't get any help from the TAC if you have an issue.

I would agree to what Glen said. Using the command is the best bet, however no help from TAC.

Thanks
