1000Base-SX adapter and VLAN

[Javier Zayas]

I have heard there's a patch or updated driver for the A4926A Gigabit cards. Does anyone know where I can get it from? I have heard of a problem with Cisco routers when using these cards and want to make sure I can get it patched up. I have both an N4000 and a L2000 system that need to be patched up. On the N4000, I can configure the card, but I cannot configure any VLAN's and this is vitally important to how our campus network is setup. On the L2000, it just tells me that I need a newer driver even though the install CD's have the same date on them. Any help in locating the right software/patches would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Javier,

Search the ITRC - patch section - for gelan, as that's the driver the A4926A uses.

If you're running 11.0, then just search accordingly.

HTH,

Jeff assumes you know your way around ITRC which is probably not the case so I will give you the link to save you some time.

Click on HPUX and it will let you set your operating system and search for gelan or 1000Base-SX. When I do that for 11.11 and gelan I get 4 patches. PHNE 26939 - s700_800 11.11 1000Base-SX/T B.11.11.14 cumulative patch - includes PHNE_24491:
1. JAGae01128: Users will not be able to use the VLAN functionality on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
