  • 1.  Configuration Assistance - QFX10008 to EX4300 using JNP-QSFP-DAC-5M

    Posted 09-04-2016 09:44

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to connect a QFX10008 to an EX4300 switch using a Passive DAC as uplink port and not as vcp.

    I already found out that the default behavior for a 4x40G pic in the EX4300 is configured as VCP

    I removed the VCP ports and configured et port, and show interfaces shows the port as up | down from the EX4300.

     

    QFX10K - 15.1X53-D33.3

    show chassis hardware
    Xcvr 10 REV 740-038625 QSFP+-40G-CU5M

     

    show interfaces et-0/0/10
    Physical interface: et-0/0/10, Enabled, Physical link is Down
    Link-level type: Ethernet, MTU: 1514, LAN-PHY mode, Speed: 40Gbps, BPDU Error: None, MAC-REWRITE Error: None, Loopback: Disabled, Source filtering: Disabled, Flow control: Disabled, Media type: Fiber
    Device flags : Present Running Down

     

    EX4300 - 14.1X53-D35.3

    show chassis hardware
    PIC 1 REV 19 BUILTIN BUILTIN 4x 40GE QSFP+
    Xcvr 0 REV 740-038625 QSFP+-40G-CU5M

     

    shdudu@vodc-sw11.hfa> show interfaces et-0/1/0
    Physical interface: et-0/1/0, Enabled, Physical link is Down
    Link-level type: Ethernet, MTU: 1514, MRU: 0, Speed: 40Gbps, BPDU Error: None, MAC-REWRITE Error: None, Loopback: Disabled, Source filtering: Disabled, Flow control: Enabled, Auto-negotiation: Enabled, Remote fault: Online,

     

    Do I need to configure additional settings on the port?

    Disable autonegotiation on both sides--this is the only way we can get our 4300's and QFX to link over 40Gb DAC.

    Hi Paul

    You're right, this is the solution indeed.

    Trying it couple of hours after posting this question only at the 4300 end solved the issue. 

    Thanks a dozan
