Gigabit Ethernet Interface

SUMMARY You can configure Gigabit Ethernet Interface with various modes like speed options, autonegotiation options, VLAN options, IP options, interface modes, link settings on the switches. The configuration uses Junos OS for EX Series switches with support for the Enhanced Layer 2 Software (ELS) configuration style.

Speed and Autonegotiation

Configure Interface Speed on Switches

On 1/10G capable Gigabit Ethernet SFP interfaces, the duplex is always full and the speed matches that of the inserted optic. These interfaces support either 1G or 10G SFP optics.

  • For EX and QFX products, the CLI configuration needs to match the optic speed. For 1G based optics, the configuration needs to start with ge-. For 10G inserted optics, the configuration needs to start with xe-. By default, both ge and xe choices are in the default configuration. User must match the CLI syntax to the optic speed.

Note:

Only 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps interfaces are supported on OCX Series switches.

Following are the steps to configure the speeds on EX and QFX platforms:

  1. In configuration mode, go to the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level.
  2. To configure the speed, include the speed statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level.

Configure Speed on EX2300-48MP and EX2300-24MP Switches

Follow these guidelines when you configure the speed on EX2300-48 MP and EX2300-24MP switches:

  • The mge interface is a rate-selectable (Multi-Rate) Gigabit Ethernet interface that supports speeds of 10-Gbps, 5-Gbps, and 2.5-Gbps over CAT5e/CAT6/CAT6a cables. In the EX2300-48 MP and EX2300-24MP switches, the mge interface supports 100-Mbps, 1-Gbps, and 2.5-Gbps speeds. Note that 10 Mbps speed is supported only on ge interfaces of EX2300 switch.

  • You can configure both multi-rate gigabit ethernet interface (mge) and gigabit ethernet (ge) interface using the speed configuration statement.

  • The Multi-rate gigabit ethernet interface (MGE) on EX2300-24MP and EX2300-48MP switches flaps (becomes unavailable, and then available again) while performing timeout detection and recovery (TDR) test.

  • If both Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and 100-Mbps speed are configured on a rate-selectable (or multirate) Gigabit Ethernet (mge) port, the port operates only at 100-Mbps speed but EEE is not enabled on that port. EEE is supported only on mge interfaces that operate at 1-Gbps and 2.5-Gbps speeds.

Configure Speed and Autonegotiation on QFX5100-48T Switches

For information about speed support, see speed.

Autonegotiation

The autonegotiation option is to negotiate the speeds.

10 Gbps, 1 Gbps, 100Mbps - By default, autonegotiation is enabled

Following are guidelines for configuring speed and autonegotiation on QFX5100-48T switch:

  • If the speed on the switch is set to 10-Gbps or auto, the switch advertises all the speeds.

  • If the speed on the switch is set to 1-Gbps, the switch advertises 1-Gbps and 100-Mbps.

  • If you've configured the speed to 100-Mbps on the switch, then you must also configure the speed as 100-Mbps and duplex to full duplex on the link partner.
  • If the link partner is set to autonegotiate at 100-Mbps, then you must configure the speed to 10-Gbps, 1-Gbps or auto on QFX5100-48T switch.

  • The no-auto-negotiation statement does no action. Hence, it is recommended not to use the no-auto-negotiation statement.

Table 2 provides the configuration steps to configure speed and autonegotiation.

Table 2: Configure Speed and Autonegotiation

Configure Speed/Autonegotiation

Use Configuration

To configure a particular speed, mention the speed.

For a port to only advertise a specific speed, start with a specific speed, it is mandatory that both the auto-negotiation option must be set (enabled) and the interface must also be configured with a specific supported speed. 

set interfaces xe-0/0/0 ether-options auto-negotiation 
set interfaces xe-0/0/0 speed speed

For example to configure 1-Gbps speed, execute the following command:

set interfaces xe-0/0/0 ether-options auto-negotiation 
set interfaces xe-0/0/0 speed 1g

To enable auto-negotiation and advertise all speeds.

With or without below, QFX5100-48T interface support auto-negotiation to one of either 10G and 1G.

set interfaces xe-0/0/0 ether-options auto-negotiation
set interfaces xe-0/0/0 speed auto

This configuration does not change any functionality. If the speed is set to fixed at 10G, the interface still operates as auto, and advertises 10G/1G/100M.

When you configure a port using the speed auto option, the port deletes the last configured speed, comes up again and advertises all the possible speeds.

Autonegotiation Support for EX4300-48MP Switches

The 4-port 1-Gigabit Ethernet/10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink module (EX-UM-4SFPP-MR) on EX4300-48MP switches supports 1-Gbps speed. You do not need to explicitly configure 1-Gbps speed on the uplink module as it automatically identifies the installed 1-gigabit SFP transceivers and creates the interface accordingly.

If both Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and 100-Mbps speed are configured on a rate-selectable (or multirate) Gigabit Ethernet (mge) port, the port operates only at 100-Mbps speed but EEE is not enabled on that port. Note that EEE is supported only on mge interfaces that operate at 1-Gbps, 2.5-Gbps, 5-Gbps, and 10-Gbps speeds.

For information about speed support, see Speed and Autonegotiation support on EX4300-48MP switches.

On EX4300-48MP, the status LED of 1-Gigabit Ethernet uplink module port is solid green (instead of blinking green) because of a device limitation. However, there is no impact on device functionality.

Table 3 summarizes the autonegotiation and half duplex support on EX4300-48MP switches.

Viewing Media Specific Information

You can execute the show interfaces media command to view the media-specific information. In the output of show interfaces name media, the output field speed displays the speed configured for the mge interface (with a default of 10G). The configured speed signifies the highest speed that the JNP-SFPP-10GE-T is capable of working at. You should enable auto-negotiation for the JNP-SFPP-10GE-T, unless it works in 100-Mbps speed where it can use the parallel detect capability using which it can detect when the link partner is in forced 100BASE-TX mode and bring the link up. The speed displayed under the Link partner denotes the actual speed at which the link is working. The Link partner speed is dynamic and displays the highest speed that both ends have negotiated and can work at.

When the interface is configured with a particular speed, it means that the transceiver can support connection to a peer at rates lesser than or equal to the configured speed, as shown in Table 5:

Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces for EX Series Switches with ELS support

Note:

This task uses Junos OS for EX Series switches with support for the Enhanced Layer 2 Software (ELS) configuration style. If your switch runs software that does not support ELS, see Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces (CLI Procedure). For ELS details, see Using the Enhanced Layer 2 Software CLI.

An Ethernet interface must be configured for optimal performance in a high-traffic network. EX Series switches include a factory default configuration that:

  • Enables all the network interfaces on the switch

  • Sets a default interface mode (access)

  • Sets default link settings

  • Specifies a logical unit (unit 0) and assigns it to family ethernet-switching (except on EX8200 switches and Virtual Chassis)

  • Specifies Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)

This topic describes:

Configuring VLAN Options and Interface Mode

By default, when you boot a switch and use the factory default configuration, or when you boot the switch and do not explicitly configure a port mode, all interfaces on the switch are in access mode and accept only untagged packets from the VLAN named default. You can optionally configure another VLAN and use that instead of default. You can also configure a port to accept untagged packets from the user-configured VLAN. For details on this concept (native VLAN), see Understanding Bridging and VLANs on Switches.

If you are connecting either a desktop phone, wireless access point or a security camera to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) port, you can configure some parameters for the PoE interface. PoE interfaces are enabled by default. For detailed information about PoE settings, see Configuring PoE Interfaces on EX Series Switches.

If you are connecting a device to other switches and to routers on the LAN, you need to assign the interface to a logical port and configure the logical port as a trunk port. See Port Role Configuration with the J-Web Interface (with CLI References) for more information about port configuration.

If you are connecting to a server that contains virtual machines and a VEPA for packet aggregation from those virtual machines, configure the port as a tagged-access port. See Understanding Bridging and VLANs on Switches for more information about tagged access.

Note:

On EX4300 switches, there is no link-mode configuration statement. The link-mode setting on an EX4300 switch is handled as follows:

  • If the link partner is operating in half duplex, the EX4300interface goes to half duplex.

  • If the link partner is not capable of autonegotiation, then the link is established as either half-duplex or full-duplex, based on the physical layer of the link partner and EX4300 switches. Only if the speed is either 10-Gbps or 100-Gbps and the duplexity is Half Duplex on both sides, link will be established successfully.

  • If the link partner is capable of autonegotiation and is operating in full duplex, the EX4300 interface also works in full duplex.

  • To force an EX4300 interface to stay in full-duplex mode, configure the interface’s speed as 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and also configure the interface with the no-autonegotiation statement.

To configure the link mode and speed settings for a 1-Gigabit, 10-Gigabit, or 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface:

Note:

On EX4300 switches, there is no link-mode configuration statement. See information earlier in this document regarding how the link mode is set on EX4300 switches.

To configure additional link settings for a 1-Gigabit, 10-Gigabit, or 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface:

For detailed information about the FPC, PIC, and port numbers used for EX Series switches, see Understanding Interface Naming Conventions.

Configurable link settings include:

  • 802.3ad—Specify an aggregated Ethernet bundle. See Configuring Aggregated Ethernet Links (CLI Procedure).

  • auto-negotiation—Enable or disable autonegotiation of flow control, link mode, and speed.

    Note:

    Starting with Junos OS Releases 14.1X53-D40, 15.1R4, and 17.1R1, half-duplex communication is supported on all built-in network copper ports on EX4300 switches. Half-duplex is bidirectional communication; however, signals can flow in only one direction at a time. Full-duplex communication means that both ends of the communication can send and receive signals at the same time.

    Half-duplex is configured by default on EX4300switches. If the link partner is set to autonegotiate the link, then the link is autonegotiated to full duplex or half duplex. If the link is not set to autonegotiation, then the EX4300link defaults to half duplex unless the interface is explicitly configured for full duplex.

    To explicitly configure full duplex:

    To verify a half-duplex (or a full-duplex) setting:

  • flow-control—Enable or disable flow control.

  • link-mode—Specify full duplex, half duplex, or autonegotiation.

    Note:

    On EX4300 switches, there is no link-mode configuration statement. See information earlier in this document regarding how the link mode is set on EX4300 switches.

  • loopback—Enable or disable loopback mode.
