adding new card in cisco switch 6506 open original image

Hi,



I just got done installing 48 port 10/100/1000 card. But Under CatOS "show module", I am not seeing the card. Is there anything I need to do on CatOS to turn on? My understanding was, 6506 will be Plug-n-play. Is there anything I need to do on the card?


Thanks



  1. Is it showing as "unknown" in the output of show module?

  1. What is the moudle status LED showing ?

It is not showing anything at all under module. There chassis thinks there is nothing on it. I saw yellow/orange color on the LED.

Thanks

  1. Post the output of show module

  1. what slot is the card in ?

  2. what is the card product number, usually found in top left hand corner of card faceplate above LED

  1. try a differnet slot to see if card is recognized

Mod Slot Ports Module-Type Model Sub Status

--- ---- ----- ------------------------- ------------------- ---

--------

1 1 2 1000BaseX Supervisor WS-X6K-SUP1A-2GE yes ok 15 1 1 Multilayer Switch Feature WS-F6K-MSFC no ok 3 3 16 1000BaseX Ethernet WS-X6416-GBIC no ok 5 5 48 10/100BaseTX Ethernet WS-X6248-RJ-45 no ok

Right now, it is in slot- 2. I have tested in slot-4 as well. When I insert the card, I see the switch saying "mod 2 powering up" but I do not see anything under show module

Prod # WS-X6148-GE-TX CLEI: CNUIADJAAB

I tried slot 2 and 4. Same result.

Thanks for your help.

If this i a new card then you should open a case with Cisco TAC as it would seem that it is defective.

What is the result of the show test (module #)?

Here it is,

aus-swt-3> (enable) show test 2 Module 2 is not installed.

Thanks

It is a brand new card. I will try to open a Cisco TAC.

Thanks

And you have at least CatOS 7.6(1) Or IOS 12.1(19)E1?

I have CatOS 6.1. any of you have catOS 7.6(1) ?

Thanks

in the show tech output under show env all, the card shows as unknown and show its power consumption.

So perhaps your CAT OS needs to be upgraded to a more recent version

looks like CAT OS 7.6(1) is the first release to support WS-X6148-GE-TX, see:

Yea.. but I do not have access to the download. Not sure if anybody has the upgrade or not..

You need to upgrade the software!
