Hello all,

I've got 2 x460-48t switches both with the XGM3SB-4SF module plugged into Slot B. I am trying to connect these switches together via one of those 10G ports and use the other 3 ports for server connections. The switches see the modules, but I do not get any link when plugging them in. I'm sure I'm missing something ridiculously simple.

sh switch =
System Type: x460-48t
Current State: OPERATIONAL
Image Selected: primary
Image Booted: primary
Primary ver: 15.3.1.4
patch1-10
Secondary ver: 15.3.1.4

Config Selected: primary.cfg
Config Booted: primary.cfg

sh ver =
Switch : 800322-00-09 1302N-40822 Rev 9.0 BootROM: 2.0.1.7 IMG: 15.3.1.4
XGM3SB-4sf-B-1: 800443-00-03 1305G-01654 Rev 3.0

Thank you for your help.

Dayo,

The XGM3SB-4SF module needs a minimum EXOS version of 15.1.1.

The best place to check these things is the ExtremeXOS Hardware and Software Compatibility Matrix that can be found in http://www.extremenetworks.com/support/extreme-support/documentation/

Hi Guys,

I have the same problem with the same switch but I'm running the 12.5.4b5 version. So I'm not sure which I need to sort out. The OS upgrade or the license upgrade?

Many thanks

Hey Joe

I went back and looked at the original post. the 4 port module can not be used for stacking. It can be used to connect the servers and to connect the switches together but only as a 10G link not as a stack port.

I see that it was already on 15.3 code so I am not sure what changed as I mentioned you do not need a license to load the module.

hmm

You don't need any license to run the VIM module. The license is only needed to add additional routing protocols. Did you upload new code to the switch?
