Configure/enable 1000 BASE-T GBIC (WS-G5483) on WS-C3524-PWR-XL-EN
Current layout:
Switch 2 Cisco Cat 3524 (GE0/2 connected to GE0/2 on Switch 1)
Switch 1 Cisco Cat 3524 (GE0/1 connected to LAN via 1000 BASE-T GBIC, GE0/2 connected to GE0/2 on Switch 2)
We need to change the current configuration so that GE0/1 on Switch 2 is directly connected to the LAN. We are using a 1000 BASE-T (WS-G5483) connected to same LAN switch as GE0/1 on Switch 1.
When GBIC is plugged in to GE0/1 on Switch 2, the LED for this interface stays dark. We have tried to use the GBIC on GE0/1 of Switch 1 with the same results. I believe this is a configuration problem where I need to tell Switch 2 that is needs to use the GBIC on GE0/1. I am unfortunately having trouble finding anything online to help me with this. Below is the show int of GE0/1 Switch 2 along with its show run. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

there is no configuration required to plug in a GBIC. I suspect your switch is faulty if the GBIC works in the other slots of the switches. i would try reloading the switch with the GBIC inserted however as you have a pretty old switch and it may not be being detected until bootup.
