Re: GBIC's - Cisco and otherwise [7:51148]
I've bought over 100 of these from Cisco, and the simple fact was that there was no one Cisco model. I saw at least three different versions from Cisco and some definitely did not have the Cisco name on them. It is possible the Agilent unit did come from Cisco. My advice is that if it works, it probably is fine. If I understand correctly, a GBIC is built to the GMII Gigabit Media Independent Interface standard so interchange should be implied. Don Chuck's Long Road wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... I took a bit of a risk, and purchased some GBIC;s off That Auction Site. Of the four, three are Cisco branded, and the fourth is labeled Agilent ( used to be HP ) I had done a bit of investigation prior to purchase. I see that the Auction Site has listings for Agilent, IBM, and Extreme GBIC's, as well as Cisco. However, I was unable to find any direct and clearly stated indication that all GBIC's are interchangeable. IBM and Agilent GBIC's cost few pretty pennies less than Cisco BTW, although I suspect now that the same source OEM's for all these manufacturers. So I paid my money, took my chance, and have an Agilent GBIC on one switch connected to a Cisco GBIC on another. No connectivity problems. Came right up. Is passing traffic even as I write. Thinking logically, why should GBIC's be any different that NIC's or patch cables, transceivers of various sorts and brands, or CSU/DSU's? They are all build to industry specifications and industry standards. They all do the same thing. Just thought I'd pass that along to those trying to stretch their practice lab or network upgrade dollars.

Re: Need to partition flash [7:50928]
I have seen this when adding a non erased flash to a cisco router. If that is the case here, you need to erase the contents of partition 2 and 3, then you may need to reboot. The command to erase flash 2 and 3 was something like erase flash:2, erase flash:3. Afterwards you should be able to go to the config and tell it that flash is one partition (use the no command to remove the partition command that you will see in the config?). I don't have all the details in front of me, but that should get you there Don McHugh Randy wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
