Gigabit Ethernet MICs

Learn about the Gigabit Ethernet MICs in this topic. You can configure interoperability between two 100-Gigabit Ethernet PICs.

A 100 Gigabit Ethernet Interface is a high-speed networking technology that allows data transmission at a rate of 100 Gbps, providing significantly faster connectivity compare with traditional Ethernet standards

100-Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces Interoperability

Juniper Networks Junos operating system (Junos OS) supports a variety of 100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The 100-Gigabit Ethernet standard, introduced by IEEE 802.3ba-2010, enables transmission of Ethernet frames at the rate of 100 gigabits per second (Gbps). It is used for very high speed transmission of voice and data signals across the numerous world-wide fiber-optic networks.

Interface interoperability refers to the ability of an interface to interoperate with other router interfaces. You can enable interoperability between different 100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces by performing specific configuration tasks. The following sections list the 100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, corresponding interoperable interfaces, and links to the interoperability tasks and reference information.
