Deploying 10-Gigabit Ethernet And Gigabit Ethernet Sfp Ports On Supervisor Engine V-10Ge - Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Configuration Manual

Deploying 10-Gigabit Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet SFP Ports on Supervisor Engine V-10GE

To use an SFP+ in an X2 port to obtain 10-Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth, the Catalyst 4500 series switch
supports OneX Convertor modules. When you plug a OneX Convertor module into an X2 port, it
converts the X2 port into an SFP+ port into which you can plug in an SFP+. An SFP+ in a OneX
Convertor module provides the same functionality as an X2 and maintains the same port numbering.
The output for the show idprom tengigabitethernet slot/interface command displays the contents of
both the SFP+ and the OneX Convertor module SEEPROMs when an SFP+ in a OneX Convertor module
is plugged into an X2 port.

Supervisor Engine V-10GE
Note On a Catalyst 4510R series switch, if you enable both the 10-Gigabit Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet SFP
uplink ports, you must reboot the switch. On the Catalyst 4503, 4506, and 4507R series switches, this
capability is automatically enabled.
Prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SG, you could enable either the dual wire-speed 10-Gigabit Ethernet
ports or four alternatively wired Gigabit Ethernet SFP uplink ports.
Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SG, you could simultaneously deploy the dual 10-Gigabit
Ethernet ports and the four Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports on the Catalyst 4503, Catalyst 4506, and Catalyst
4507R chassis.
When you deploy a Catalyst 4510R chassis, one of the following configurations is supported:
•
•
•
•
To select the 10-Gigabit Ethernet or the Gigabit Ethernet SFP uplink port, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch# configure terminal
Step 2
Switch(config)# hw-module uplink select [all |
gigabitethernet | tengigabitethernet]
The following example shows how to enable both 10-Gigabit Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet SFP uplink
ports on a Catalyst 4510R series switch:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# hw-module uplink select all
Warning: This configuration mode will place slot 10 in flex slot mode
When you modify the uplink mode, you must reboot the switch.
Note
Software Configuration Guide—Release IOS XE 3.3.0SG and IOS 15.1(1)SG
7-12
Dual 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports (X2 optics) only.
Four Gigabit Ethernet ports (SFP optics) only.
Both the dual 10-Gigabit Ethernet and the four Gigabit Ethernet ports. The tenth slot (Flex-Slot)
only supports a 2-port gigabit interface converter (GBIC) line card (WS-X4302-GB) when in this
mode.
You cannot place a line card with a backplane traffic capacity exceeding 6 Gbps in slots 8, 9, and
10 of a Catalyst 4510R-E chassis when used with a Supervisor Engine 6-E or 6L-E.
Purpose
Establishes global configuration mode.
Selects the port type to enable.
