Selecting X2/Twingig Convertor Mode - Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Software Configuration Manual

Selecting X2/TwinGig Convertor Mode

The default configuration mode is X2. If you plan to deploy 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, you do not need to configure
anything. However, if you want to deploy Gigabit interfaces (that is, use TwinGig Convertors), you must configure the
associated port-group:
To determine how the X2 holes on a module are grouped, enter the show hw-module module m port-group p command.
Note Place a 10-Gigabit Ethernet port that accepts CVR-X2-SFP into 1-Gigabit mode instead of 10-Gigabit Ethernet mode.
If you configure a 10-Gigabit Ethernet port as 1-Gigabit port, an output similar to the following appears:
Switch# show hw-module module 5 port-group
Module Port-group Active
-------------------------------------------------------------
5 1 Gi5/3-6
If the port is set to the default, 10-Gigabit Ethernet mode, an output similar to the following appears:
Switch# show hw-module module 6 port-group
Module Port-group Active
-------------------------------------------------------------
6 1 Te6/1-2
Switch# show int status mod 1

• To configure the modes of operation for each X2 port group in which you want to deploy Gigabit, enter the hw-module
module m port-group p select gigabitethernet command. This configuration is preserved across power cycles and
reloads.
To deploy Gigabit Ethernet interfaces using the TwinGig Convertor, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch# configure terminal
Step 2
Switch(config)# hw-module module m port-group p
select [gigabitethernet | tengigabitethernet]
