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.

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!
