[c-nsp] SXI(3) code status?

[Jared Mauch]

Release 12.2(33)SXH and later releases do not support the following hardware:

These Ethernet Switching Modules:

–WS-X6024-10FL-MT 24-port 10BASE-FL MT-RJ

–WS-X6248A-TEL 48-port 10/100TX RJ-21

–WS-X6248-RJ-45 48-port 10/100TX RJ-45

–WS-X6248-TEL 48-port 10/100TX RJ-21

–WS-X6324-100FX-SM 24-port 100FX Ethernet

–WS-X6224-100FX-MT 24-port 100FX Ethernet Multimode MT-RJ

–WS-X6316-GE-TX 16-port Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45

–WS-X6416-GE-MT 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet MT-RJ

	Now, the caveat is that they did not actually remove the hardware support for some of these until SXI1, so while the release notes say one thing, the actual support varies.

You will see something like this in 'show power':
4    WS-X6248A-TEL       112.98  2.69     -     -     on    off (not supported)
8    WS-X6248-RJ-45      112.98  2.69     -     -     on    off (not supported)

It does appear the WS-X6324-100FX-MM card does power on for SXI3, but I can't recall if that was the case for SXI2/2a/or 1.
