I am having a problem with a ws-g5483= (Copper GBIC) that I have deployed into a Catalyst 6509. The interface will not activate and I do not think it is a problem with the cabling or the LAN Switch (C3750) that it is connected to. It is not a hardware fault as I have the same issue on 4 Ports across two Switches. My onsite engineer used a tester and he says there is no communication coming out of the transceiver.
The ws-g5483= GBIC is installed into a ws-x6516-gbic (16 Port GBIC Module) and the Supervisor is a ws-x6k-sup2-2ge running CATos 8.3(3).
The GBIC is recognised when I show the port but the port is in a 'notconnect' status
Port Name Status Vlan Duplex Speed Type
----- -------------------- ---------- ---------- ------ ----------- ------------
7/10 RDUKGLOUCOMA001 notconnect 1 full 1000 1000BaseT
I have the same problem on ports set as either a access or trunk port
In this example both 7/10 and 8/10 have been enabled
clear trunk 7/10 1-723,725-4094
set trunk 7/10 on dot1q 724
set spantree portfast 7/10 disable
set spantree guard root 7/10
set vlan 725 8/10
set spantree portfast 8/10 disable
set spantree guard none 8/10
I cannot find anything on CCO to say that it is a hardware or software compatibility issue. I'm hoping it is a simple configuration issue !!!
