[c-nsp] Nexus 3K (3048TP) and 10Gb twinax

[CiscoNSP List]

Hi everyone,


Trying to connect 2 Nexus 3Ks together for VPC via 2 x 10Gb ports (With 10Gb twinax cables(3rd party)), but the Nexus reports them as "SFP validation failed", and only 1Gb?


# sh int eth 1/51
Ethernet1/51 is down (SFP validation failed)
 Dedicated Interface
  Hardware: 1000/10000 Ethernet, address: 547f.ee7b.ff5a (bia 547f.ee7b.ff5a)

  reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
  Encapsulation ARPA
  Port mode is access
  Full-duplex, 10 Gb/s, media type is 1G



Ive tried service unsupported-transceiver, but they are still reporting as only 1Gb?

Also tried forcing 10Gb, but get the following error:


(config-if)# speed 10000
ERROR: Ethernet1/51: Configuration does not match the port capability.



I dont have physical access to the switches(Ive just got console access), but we def ordered 10Gb twinax cables....has anyone else seen this issue before?  (The 10Gb ports on the Nex3K's support copper correct?)


Cheers
