WS-X45-SUP6-E - 10GB SFP+ not detecting on twingig converter module

shamg1974 · ‎04-09-2012

I have a 4506-E with the following supervisor module:

WS-X45-SUP6-E

It currently has 2 TwinGig converter modules installed. I want to upgrade the 2 1Gb connections to 2 10Gb connections. First I took out the converter modules and installed 2 X2-10Gb-SR's, but it didnt recognize ("No X2 GBIC")???

Then, I put the converter module back in and put two SFP-10GB-SR's in them, but they don't recognize either...???? I"m running IOS

12.2(54)SG1.

According to the 10Gb matrix, they should work:

Catalyst 4500 series

(continued)

WS-X45-SUP6-E
WS-X4606-X2-E

X2-10GB-CX4
X2-10GB-LX4

X2-10GB-LR
X2-10GB-SR
X2-10GB-ER
X2-10GB-LRM

X2-10GB-ZR

That will DEFINITELY won't work at all. CVR TwinGig converter "converts" TEN Gig ports to two 1 Gbps.

Hi,

It is likely the Sup6-E ports were configured for 1 Gb mode when using TwinGigs. You can check the configuration via the "show hw-module module m port-group" command, where m is your Sup6-E position number. You can further change the configuration via the "hw-module module m port-group p select tengigabitethernet" command.

Best regards,

Antonin
