Linking 4800G switches via 10 GbE

[Stefan_ZA]

Hi guys

I have the following hardware that I am trying to link:

Swiches: JD008A
Modules: JD368B (SFP+ 10 GbE)
Transceivers: J9150A (SFP+ 10 GbE)

When I link two identically configured switches with both with the latest firmware, the links do not come up. When I look at the fiber cables I am bales to see light at both ends of the cable so the fiber is fine. The links just don't want to come up for some reason.

Any ideas?

Hi,

your problem probably is that you have unsupported transceivers. For your ex-3Com switch (4800-24G PoE switch) and 10GbE SFP+ module there are these official supported transceivers:

JD092B HP X130 10G SFP+ LC SR Transceiver
JD093B HP X130 10G SFP+ LC LRM Transceiver
JD094B HP X130 10G SFP+ LC LR Transceiver

The transceivers you are using are for ex-ProCurve switches and even if ProCurve and H3C/3Com are now under the one roof the signatures are still not unified and think it is not technical problem but some legal and law issues.

I have some news that there should be new series of transceivers in future with new signature that should be common for all products but don't know when.

BR,

Jan
