Cisco 6513 port type unkown
When I perform a 'sh port' on our main switch I'm getting the following:
sh port
Port Name Status Vlan Duplex Speed Type
----- -------------------- ---------- ---------- ------ ----------- ------------
1/22 not connect 1 full 1000 No Connector
1/23 Trunk-4948-ESX connected trunk full 1000 Unknown
1/24 connected trunk full 1000 1000BaseSX
Should I be conserned about the 'unknown'?
This is a newly created trunk that will handle a lot of vm traffic and I want to be sure it is sound
before loading her up. Should I relace the gbic module?

If you use 3'rd party SFP you need:
service unsupported-transceiver
no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid
service unsupported-transceiver
no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid

@donjohnston:: Yeah it seems to be working OK just an Odd message.
@ikalmar: "service unsupported-transceiver
no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid"
is this a statement (info) or cli to do?

Don't worry about the commands. ikalmar doesn't understand that you're running CatOS.
Are the GBICs Cisco or not?

@donjohnston:
I will have to wait until I return to work on Monday (PDT) to confirm.... I was just sitting here worrying about a potential problem down the road when the ESX server we have built is fully loaded with mission critical VMS on the other end of the trunked port with a bad gbic... lol
I will report back when I find out.

Ok I swapped out the gbic and now the infomartion is being displayed as tp "type". The gbic I removed was indeed a cisco so this may have become a problem who knows and I replaced it with a cisco.

Routers
A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Is a Cisco GBIC installed in the port? Or is it a non-Cisco GBIC?
Is it working correctly?
If it's a non-Cisco GBIC, then that could be the reason.
And if it's working correctly anyway, then... I guess that's all that matters. :-)
