Hi Experts

I have cisco 6509 with the following modules.The issue i am facing is that the LR optics are not lighting up.As per the software advisor i tried the following software images.The SR modules within the same chassis works.The issue is there with my other switches like cisco 4900M,Cisco 3750-E all of which have the LR modules and they dont lit up whereas the SR does.Kindly help me out.

Hi Maria,

Thanks for mentioning this. The spec of the XENPAK-10GB-LR is okay to be looped, the TX max is 0.5dBm and RX max is 0.5dBm, according from Table 2 of the following link

Hi Jerry,

Looks like my eye got confused with the number of asterisks. I guess me trying to look at the light wouldn't have been more successful, even if it wasn't dangerous.

Thanks,

Maria

Once again, I will not look at it and it is your choice to look at it. Hence, I will not confirm if you can see it or not. I will use optical power meter to check the power of the XENPAK.

Also, 12.2(33)SRA is for 7600's, the module is detected with your IOS software and it should be fine. The WS-X6704-10GE is supported since IOS 12.2(17a)SX or CatOS 8.1.2.
