Has anyone got a 2900 or 3500XL Cisco Switch?

[Jay]

If so I have a 1000Mb Base-t Module that is looks like its dead and I have no other system to test it on. My home network is now back down to 100Mb

If anyone here can test this in their switch that would be fantastic.

its a WS-G5483 and I get ......

GigabitEthernet0/1 is down, line protocol is down
Hardware is Gigabit Ethernet, address is 0003.e3e7.23b1 (bia 0003.e3e7.23b1)
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec,
reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set
Keepalive not set
Full-duplex, 1000Mb/s, media type is missing
output flow-control is off, input flow-control is off
ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00
Last input never, output 00:25:57, output hang never
Last clearing of "show interface" counters never
Queueing strategy: fifo
Output queue 0/40, 0 drops; input queue 0/75, 0 drops
5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
7 packets input, 448 bytes, 0 no buffer
Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles
0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored
0 watchdog, 0 multicast, 0 pause input

No green light at all no matter what is plugged in. I really hope this isn't the port on the switch!

Hmm, I've got a few 2950's knocking around if that's any help. I'd have to check to make sure I still have the password though

[Jay]

If you don't I can guide you through the reset, its not hard to do.

Make sure they have the ability to take the module though.

[Viper81]

They've got GBIC slots if that's what you mean but they weren't ever used with 1000 Base-T GBICs. They had those strange stacking modules in them that looked like firewire connections :S
I'll try logging in to one tomorrow, if you need any info from the box (exact model/IOS version etc) let me know.

[Viper81]

Ok, well I logged into one of the 2950's, they're running 12.1 and the exact model number is WS-C2950G-48-EI.
I checked the GBIC port with a 1000 LX mod (it's amazing what you find when you have a hunt for things ) and it detected it fine, so it looks like it's working ok.

[Jay]

Ok

PM me your address. If I send you these two modules could you test them? I'll include a self addressed pre-paid envelope.

[Viper81]

No problem, PM on its way
