Hi Guys,
I bought a while back one of these lb4m switches. I have good firmware and UI as seen below.
(Switching) #show version
Switch: 1
System Description............................. FASTPATH Switching
Machine Type................................... LB4G 48x1G 2x10G
Machine Model.................................. LB4M
Serial Number.................................. QTFCPW9510066
FRU Number..................................... 1
Part Number.................................... BCM56514
Maintenance Level.............................. A
Manufacturer................................... 0xbc00
Burned In MAC Address.......................... 00:26:9E:1E:A3:EF
Software Version............................... 1.0.2.17
Operating System............................... VxWorks5.5.1
Network Processing Device...................... BCM56514_A0
my question is mostly about the two 10gbit spf+ ports and GBIC's on my network cards.
on my LB4M I have two Finisar FTLX8571D3BNL-E5 SPF+
on my server Dell R510 I have 1 10gbe card with JDSU PLRXXL-SC-S43-C1 and another with Finisar FLLX8511D3-IT.
Both 10gbe ports on the LM4B have spanning tree as edge ports since I am connecting them directly to the server. Issue is link is down using either Ethernet card. if I create a loop using fiber cable and plugin port 49 to port 50, both come up, so this tell me sfp+ on both are working but they do not work when I plug them into the GBIC's on the server.
I tested the both cards on the server connecting directly to another server and they work.
Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance..
