Fortigate 100F 10G interface with FN-TRAN-SFP+SR not comming up

Dear All,

 

I have following connection:

 

CIsco Switch - SFP-10G-SR - om3 MMF cable 3 meter - FN-TRAN-SFP+SR - FortiGate 100F, X2 port.

 

Previewsly I used SFP-10G-SR on both devices, link was worked, bot after installing FN-TRAN-SFP+SR link goes down.

I have more then one FN-TRAN-SFP+SR, but same result for all modules.

Does anyone knows why these SFP-s do not wan to takl with each other?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

I try to show it:

You can see interfaces status on image below. Now installed Cisco SFPs in all devices.

When I chane SFP on FGT, one of interface of Cisco switch goes down.

Hi, 

 

What does the 'show log' command say on the Cisco Switch, you can filter this by interface, as an example.  

'show log | i 1/0/20'

 

Unplug the cables/transceivers first and then do the show log to get fresh, relevant logs.

 

Is Spanning Tree enabled? If so, exclude the ports that are aggregated from it.

Here is a log from yesterday:

Interface status is noconnect.

When port goes UP, Cisco SFP inserted in FGT.

Case update:

FN-TRAN-SFP+SR can work with SFP-10G-SR-S on another side, but with SFP-10G-SR can't.

Any solution with this?

An SFP+ has to be compatible with the local switch, if local switch checks the vendor ID. But once signals get on the fiber, it's in 10GBASE-SR standard and it doesn't matter what vender's SFP+ terminates.

If the warning you get at the FGT when Cisco compatible SFP+ is used is just "not FN-TRAN" while it's working fine, I would just ignore the warning. You should be just fine.

If you still want to use FN-TRAN-SFP+SR, try another FN-TRAN-SFP+SR. Unless the distance is close to the max 300m, bad SFP+ would be the only explanation.

Can you try the same using FN-TRAN-SFP+SR with loop back connection in FGT and confirm the status.
Please confirm the FGT firmware information along with below logs:
get sys interface transceiver

This sfp works with Cisco SFP-10G-SR-S,  link and port-channel comes up,  but Cisco switch interface blinking with green and amber lights. I have 12 PC of Fortinet SFP, and their behavior are same.

 

I also tried manually configure speed and duplex setting both side and tested multiple cables with no luck.
