Configuring Port Speed on Multi-Rate MICs

Configuring a port speed allows you to enable rate-selectability on a per-port basis. When you configure a speed on a per-port basis, you can use the same MIC hardware as you upgrade your network from OC3 to OC12 or OC48 speeds.

This feature is supported on MX Series routers with SONET/SDH OC3/STM1 (Multi-Rate) MICs (MIC-3D-8OC3OC12-4OC48-SFP and MIC-3D-4OC3OC12-1OC48-SFP), Channelized SONET/SDH OC3/STM1 (Multi-Rate) MICs with SFP (MIC-3D-8CHOC3-4CHOC12 and MIC-3D-4CHOC3-2CHOC12), and ATM MICs with SFP (MIC-3D-8OC3-2OC12-ATM).

1. At the [edit chassis] hierarchy level in configuration mode, specify the port and the port speed that need to be configured. You can use one of the following speed attributes for this configuration.
   content_copy zoom_out_map

   [edit chassis]

   user@host# set fpc fpc-slot pic pic-number port port-number speed oc12-stm4 ;

   user@host# set fpc fpc-slot pic pic-number port port-number speed oc3-stm1 ;

   user@host# set fpc fpc-slot pic pic-number port port-number speed oc48-stm16 ;
   Note

   You can configure the oc12-stm4, oc3-stm1, and oc48-stm16 port speed options for SONET/SDH OC3/STM1 (Multi-Rate) MICs. However, for Channelized SONET/SDH OC3/STM1 (Multi-Rate) MICs with SFP and ATM MICs, you can configure only the oc12-stm4 and oc3-stm1 port speed options.

   (MX Series with MPCs and ATM MICs with SFP) To configure up to OC12 CBR bandwidth speed per virtual circuit (VC) on an ATM MIC with SFP (MIC-3D-8OC3-2OC12-ATM), specify oc12-stm4 as the speed for the specified port. You can configure the oc12-stm4 port speed option only for ports 0 and 4 on an ATM MIC. If you configure the oc12-stm4 port speed option for port 0, then ports 1, 2, and 3 are disabled. Similarly, if you configure the oc12-stm4 port speed for port 4, then ports 5, 6, and 7 are disabled.

   For example:

   content_copy zoom_out_map

   [edit chassis]

   user@host# set fpc 3 pic 0 port 0 speed oc12-stm4
2. Verify the configuration:
   content_copy zoom_out_map

   [edit chassis]
   user@host# show
   fpc 3 {
       pic 0 {
           port 0 {
                 speed oc12-stm4;
              }
          }
   }

1. At the [edit chassis] hierarchy level in configuration mode, disable rate-selectability by using the no-multi-rate statement.
   content_copy zoom_out_map

   [edit chassis]

   user@host# set fpc fpc-slot pic pic-number no-multi-rate

   For example:

   content_copy zoom_out_map

   [edit chassis]

   user@host# set fpc 3 pic 0 no-multi-rate
   Note

   • The no-multi-rate statement is supported only on MIC-3D-8OC3OC12-4OC48.

   • The no-multi-rate statement enables the first four ports [0 – 3] exclusively at OC48/STM16 speed.

   • The no-multi-rate statement disables the last four ports [4 – 7].

2. Verify the configuration:
   content_copy zoom_out_map

   [edit chassis]
   user@host# show
   fpc 3 {
       pic 0 {
            no-multi-rate;
              }
          }
