does APIC-SERVER-L2 support 10GBASE-T with VIC1225?

[JunSungKim2765]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect to cable between APIC-SERVER-L2(VIC1225 with 10GBASE-T) and C93108TC.
The SFP vender is the Interlink.
A link of C93108TC is up but, APIC's side is down.
Is link possible to be up ?

Hello @JunSungKim2765 ,

I am a bit confused by your statement referring to VIC1225T and the command output after it. If your APIC has VIC1225T then you'll need copper cables because the VIC has only copper ports. But if you have VIC1225 then you'll need fiber optic cables. 

Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure Fabric Hardware Installation Guide - Connecting the Switch to the ACI Fabric [Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC)] - Cisco

However, from the command output you mentioned and the eth2-1 which is working on 10G SR,  I am guessing that your APIC has VIC1225.

Kindly rate helpful posts.
