how to configure 40G port on mx204

  • 1.  how to configure 40G port on mx204

    Posted 02-25-2020 23:21

    Can someone guide me how to configure the 4 port to 40G on mx204?

    Right now I see

    xe-0/0/0:0 up up
    xe-0/0/0:1 up up
    xe-0/0/0:2 up up
    xe-0/0/0:3 up up
    I refer https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/topic-map/rate-selectability-configuring.html

    not working as it should.

    Thanks

    Hi

     

    As the document suggests which method are you using of the 2 methods "pic level" or "port level" ?

    Both the method didnt work ? Are you getting some error while changing the config.

    Hi,

     

    please refer to the below link , it mentions some rules to follow to be able to change rate on MX204 ports

    I configured port 0,1 at 40g

    [edit chassis fpc 0 pic 0]
    root@x# show
    port 0 {
    speed 40g;
    }
    port 1 {
    speed 40g;
    }

     

      But when I run show interface command I see them as xe.. not et-0

     

    xe-0/0/0:0 up up
    xe-0/0/0:1 up up
    xe-0/0/0:2 up up
    xe-0/0/0:3 up up

     

    There is no option in configuration to delete and configure as et-0/0/0

    Can someone guide me how to fix?

    Please check below link to make sure your configuration for both pic 0 and pic 1 are valid:

    https://apps.juniper.net/home/port-checker/index.html

     

    Also check "show system alarms" to see if any alarms related to PIC.

    If your configuration is valid, but port didn't get changed from xe to et, you mostly need to restart the PIC or FPC

    There is only one port 0 @ 40G connected to ex4300 switch and I checked the configuration via that app.

     

    2 alarms currently active
    Alarm time Class Description
     UTC Minor FPC 0 PIC 1 Invalid port profile configuration
     UTC Minor FPC 0 PIC 0 Invalid port profile configuration

    but when I checked config before commit it passed,

    If you are not using any ports on PIC1, please configure following:

     

    set chassis fpc 0 pic 1 number-of-ports 0

     

    After that restart the FPC.  You should see the 40Gig ports

    If that doesn't work please send complete "show chassis alarm/show chassis hardware/show configuration chassis" output

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I'm still quite new to Juniper, so sorry if this is bad advice, but are you using a break out cable?

     

    In past (with another vendor) I have had 40G QSFP ports on a switch, and attached a breakout cable, which converted the one port into four 10G SFP+ ports.

     

    Could your issue be something like this?

    Hello,

    Don't know if you found the solution after all this time but in case here it is. You need to configure each port individually as follows.
    What I wanted is to have :
    PIC 0
    port 0 : 4x 10g
    port 1 : 4x 10g
    port 2 : 1x 40g
    port 3 : empty

    PIC 1
    mix of 1g/10g

    Here is my conf:
    MX204# show chassis
    fpc 0 {
    pic 0 {
    port 0 {
    number-of-sub-ports 4;
    speed 10g;
    }
    port 1 {
    number-of-sub-ports 4;
    speed 10g;
    }
    port 2 {
    speed 40g;
    }
    }
    pic 1 {
    port 0 {
    speed 10g;
    }
    port 1 {
    speed 10g;
    }
    port 2 {
    speed 10g;
    }
    port 3 {
    speed 10g;
    }
    port 4 {
    speed 10g;
    }
    port 5 {
    speed 10g;
    }
    port 6 {
    speed 10g;
    }
    port 7 {
    speed 10g;
    }
    }

    The speed of ports 0-7 of pic 1 is configured at the interface level (1g or 10g).

    Regards,
    Alexis

    Hi!

    Taking advantage of the hook is it possible to modulate 40G into a 100G qsfp module?

    Thanks

    Hi.

    I ran into this issue yesterday.

    I followed this:

    Juniper MX204 – Enabling 100G ports (lavin.me.uk)

    Key thing for me was configuring, then restarting PIC 1 first, then restart PIC 0. That seemed to sort it. Obviously change the config in the above article to whatever yours is.
