This is a follow-up to my earlier post: https://community.cisco.com/t5/small-business-switches/need-cabling-advice-to-connect-c3750g48ts-and-sg300-20-using-sfp/td-p/3902730 After reading this: 10GBASE-LRM and EDC: Enabling 10GB Deployment in the Ente...
I have:(1) 2 x C3750G48TS(2) 1 x SG300-20(3) everything contained in a standard 19 inch rack, therefore the maximum cable distance would be no more than 3m (10 ft). I need to connect these together. While I could use Cat 5/6 copper I would like to us...
I am building a lab and would like to use a reverse telnet/terminal server/console server type of solution to connect to the network gear. Many years ago I had a Cisco 2511 which did the same job, but that was sold long ago. I need a more current sol...
I have a home lab setup with a single SG300-20 (firmware 1.4.1.3, L3 mode) connected to a server with 4 NICs running ESXi 6.0. I have a number of virtual machines running ESXi 6.0 (nested ESXi). Because the nested ESXi hosts are connected by a virtua...
I want to update the firmware and boot code on my SG300-20, but before I do I want to backup the firmware, boot code and configuration to my PC. I am using SolarWinds SFTP/SCP/TFTP server 1.0.4.9 and have tried TFTP and SCP and neither work. I am abl...
Quoting from my first post in this thread:"Because this is a home lab cost and distance are major consideration. The limitation is the SG300-20 and available SFP modules which can be summarized as..." (Q1) Of the four, actually eight, SFP modules ava...
Joseph W. Doherty: So then there is no way to mix 1G and 10G, i.e. 10G is not backwards compatible like with the older 10/100/1000M? I just want to make sure I'm crystal clear on that point. Assuming that the answer to the above question is 'correct'...
Joseph W. Doherty: For very short distance (no more than 3m/10ft, this is a home lab) I should be focusing on the minimizing the cost of the modules vs. cabling to keep the total cost down? The link for the "MGBSX1" is below the table in round bracke...
Seeing that there are no 10 Gbps options for the SG300 sticking to the MGBSX1 seems like the best option. On the other hand the 3700 does have 10 Gbps options and it appears that the SFP-10G-SR (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/inter...
Due to the lack of response I started doing some research. I found this:

... which included a reference to NM-32AS and 2600xm. So then I started searching for 'NM-32AS 2600xm' ...
