  • 1.  QFX5120-48Y 25G transceivers auto-negotiation

     
    Posted 07-29-2021 09:22
    Hi all

    Been searching through documentations but can't find the right answer

    https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/junos/interfaces-ethernet-switches/topics/topic-map/switches-interface-gigabit.html#d565e910


    Does anyone has idea  if

    • Is speed / duplex setting supported on 25G transceiver in QFX5120-48Y ?
    • Without any auto-negotiation configuration - is auto-negotiate enabled / disabled on 25G interface ?
    • How do we verify that ? show interface et-0/0/x extensive does not show any auto-negotiate settings

    Thank you

    to see what auto-neg the switch knows about  try   .. I have no QFX with 10/25/50/100 so ymmv.
    show interfaces et-0/0/x media

    Autonegotiation information:
    Negotiation status: Complete
    Link partner:
    Link mode: Full-duplex, Flow control: Symmetric/Asymmetric, Remote fault: OK, Link partner Speed: 1000 Mbps
    Local resolution:
    Flow control: None, Flow control tx: None, Flow control rx: None, Remote fault: Link OK

    Can't find anything related to negotiation in the output though

    Q: "Is speed / duplex setting supported on 25G transceiver in QFX5120-48?"
    A: I think 10 G and 25 G standards only have full duplex and no auto negotiation so you cannot select half and auto for that reason.

    25 G optics do require special FEC settings from time to time. set interfaces et-0/0/X ether-options fec ???

    @fb35523

    any idea what will happen if i were to set auto-negotiation on such interface ?
    set interface et-0/0/30 ether-options auto-negotation​​

    on the fec settings - does that means i will have to check with the host end on what fec setting do they prefer ?

    set interfaces et-0/0/30 optics-options fec ?
    Possible completions:
      hgfec                High Gain Forward Error Correction
      sdfec                Sky-Compatible Soft Decision Forward Error Correction
      sdfec15              Soft Decision Forward Error Correction with 15 percent overhead
      sdfec25              Denali-Compatible Soft Decision Forward Error Correction with 25 percent overhead​

    which option is FEC74  -- show interfaces extensive reflects that i am using FEC74 on the 25G interface

    If the FEC is not setup the same on both ends, the link will not work at all. I had a bit of a struggle to find the cause when I had this problem the first time, so me mentioning FEC was more of a heads up for you that you might have to look for that as well if you bump into problems.

    As for auto-negotiation, I don't think it will commit or it will not matter as the setting is irrelevant for 25 G. Try it out!
