SFPs/GBICs anderer Hersteller funktionieren in einem Cisco-Gerät standardmässig nicht. Cisco-Geräte akzeptieren nur Komponenten mit Cisco-Branding. Beim Einbau von 3d-Party Komponeneten kommt folgende (oder ähnliche) Fehlermeldung:
%PHY-4-UNSUPPORTED_TRANSCEIVER: Unsupported transceiver found in Gi0/25 %GBIC_SECURITY_CRYPT-4-VN_DATA_CRC_ERROR: GBIC in port gi 0/25 has bad crc %PM-4-ERR_DISABLE: gbic-invalid error detected on Gi0/25, putting
Zur Freischaltung von 3d-Party Komponeneten existieren mehrere undokumentierte Commands.
- service unsupported-transceiver
- no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid
- errdisable recovery cause gbic-invalid
Freischalten
switch-01(config)# service unsupported-transceiver Warning: When Cisco determines that a fault or defect can be traced to the use of third-party transceivers installed by a customer or reseller, then, at Cisco's discretion, Cisco may withhold support under warranty or a Cisco support program. In the course of providing support for a Cisco networking product Cisco may require that the end user install Cisco transceivers if Cisco determines that removing third-party parts will assist Cisco in diagnosing the cause of a support issue. switch-01(config)# no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid switch-01(config)# errdisable recovery cause gbic-invalid
Nachteil: kein Support
Bei Problemen mit 3d-Party Komponeneten gewährt Cisco keinen Support.
