that they read the compatibility list before they buy the SPF

Hi,i just  ordered the cisco catalyst ws-c2960-8tc-s, and the optimodule from sonore ,sfp and optical cable from sonore as well.

i just realised this switch is not the gygabit version? Is it ok? Did i did wrong choice?

will it work?

i wanted go fiber from the cisco to optimodule then ethernet to streamer?

Hi, i received the Cisco Catalyst switch and the optimodule combo.

i used the last 2 input for sfp and ethernet.

i have trouble connecting to the internet,so need help here pls.

on the mac book, under settings it shows status: connected but ethernet is yellow and state: self assigned ip.

i tried manually typing the ip adress of the router supplying the cisco with no success.

i tried connecting a tv box to the other output of the switch, same, ethernet is in, but no internet.

thks

My cisco is the ws-c2960-8tc-s.

i will trying doing so .

Logic what you are saying .

the last 2 should be outputs: one sfp and one ethernet.

i think i need to connect an input on one of the 8 others.

Thk you tubeman,

i ve been thru express config, without success, so i skipped it after spending an hour trying.

i managed some how to let the switch workings now , via the 8 ports .

lan cable from router to port 2 .

port 3,4 supplying macbook and tv box.

( no sq improvements so far)

even the ethernet port on the left is working.

my only issue now is the sfp output.

i noticed the green arrow showing wich of the 2 output having priority is not working on the sfp output.

my purchase of the cisco was because of the use of that sfp out.

i tried swaping opticable cable direction,sfp nothing!!!!

no arrow green light!

what should i do?

Cisco switch is not part anymore part of the system

i bought g10 tek swirch instead recommended by sonore.

Now lan goes to gtek switch sfp out to optimodule to streamer.

The sonore sfp is not compatiblewith the cisco.

honestly i didn t like the ciscco switch for it s complicated config,and sound wise,i didn t see any improvements to my linksys one.

I tried the cisco for tests with cheap tp link sfp and fmc powered by ifi ps( borrowed from a friend);

cisco still here for anyone who s interested!
