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.

prusso,

Thank you so much for the response. I did not install this hot. I did however find the solution to my problem.
It turns out, in order to use the module and configure it, you need to upgrade the license on the switch. As these were brand new they were only running the L2 Edge license.

Thanks again.

Hey Joe

did you install the module while the switch was up and running? If so you need to reboot the switch.

While you can install the module hot you need to reboot it for it to start working.
