Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Autonegotiation

Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Autonegotiation with Remote Fault

To configure explicit autonegotiation and remote fault, include the auto-negotiation statement and the remote-fault option at the [edit interfaces ge-fpc/pic/port gigether-options] hierarchy level.


                        
                           [edit interfaces ge-fpc/pic/port  gigether-options]
                           
                           ( | no-auto-negotiation) remote-fault <local-interface-online |
                              local-interface-offline>

Configuring Flow Control

To enable flow control, include the flow-control statement at the [edit interfaces ge-fpc/pic>/port gigether-options] hierarchy level.

Configuring Autonegotiation Speed on MX-series Routers

MX-series routers with Combo Line Rate DPCs and Tri-Rate Copper SFPs support autonegotiation of speed. The autonegotiation specified interface speed is propagated to CoS, routing protocols, and other system components. Half-duplex mode is not supported.

To specify the autonegotiation speed, use the speed < (auto | 1Gbps | 100Mbps | 10Mbps)> statement at the [edit interface ge-fpc/pic>/port] hierarchy level.

To set port speed negotiation to a specific rate, set the port speed to 1Gbps, 100Mbps, or 10Mbps. If the negotiated speed and the interface speed do not match, the link will not be brought up.

If you set the autonegotiation speed auto option, then the port speed is negotiated.

You can disable auto MDI/MDIX using the no-auto-mdix statement at the [edit interface ge-fpc/pic>/port gigether-options] hierarchy level.

Use the show interfaces ge-fpc/pic>/port brief command to display the auto negotiation of speed and auto MDI/MDIX states.

Displaying Autonegotiation Status

To display Gigabit Ethernet interface details, including the autonegotiation status, use the operational mode command show interfaces ge- fpc/pic/port extensive.

Table 1 and Table 2 provide information about the autonegotiation status on local and remote routers with fiber interfaces. The status of the link and LED can vary depending on the level of autonegotiation set and the transmit and receive fiber status.
