Hello - low hanging fruit question here ...

I have an EX4100-48-T which I have executed the following command to convert the dedicated VC-interfaces for standard networking interfaces:

request virtual-chassis mode network-port

Question: are 10G SFPs required for any of these 8 interfaces, or will 1G SFPs work?

I was attempting to use 1G SFPs, and although I got link and the interface showed "up", I could get no traffic to transit.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

On the EX4100s all 8 ports can be used at 1GB, As Aron mentioned in VC mode it needs to be 10GB or 25GB, but in network mode you should be able to use 1GB. if you share your config for these ports that may help.

Hi Harry - 

I will post the simple configure of one of the interfaces below:

set interfaces ge-0/2/0 unit 0 description "drop from isp"set interfaces ge-0/2/0 unit 0 family ethernet-switching interface-mode accessset interfaces ge-0/2/0 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members isp

As already stated, I tried 1g SFPs and the interface would shop 'up', however no traffic would pass nor would the interface 'learn' the MAC of the upstream router.

Do I need to configure the interfaces as xe-0/2/0 and then hardset the speed for 1g?

Regards!

Does the ports show UP/UP on both devices?

In the past I have used 1G SFP between EX4100-F-12 and EX2300-C12, and it would not come up unless auto-negotiation was disabled.

It is correct to use ge-0/2/0 (and not xe-).

You need to check if the device on the other side of the link also shows UP.
