Configuring a Port Speed
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).
To configure a port speed on the chassis for enabling rate-selectability on a per-port basis:
- 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.[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.
Also, for ATM MICs, you can configure the oc12-stm4 port speed option only for ports 0 and 4. 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:
[edit chassis]user@host# set fpc 3 pic 0 port 0 speed oc12-stm4 - Verify the configuration:
[edit chassis] user@host# show fpc 3 { pic 0 { port 0 { speed oc12-stm4; } } }
By default, rate-selectability is enabled on MX Series routers with SONET/SDH OC3/STM1 (Multi-Rate) MICs, Channelized SONET/SDH OC3/STM1 (Multi-Rate) MICs with SFP, and ATM MICs. However, rate-selectability can be disabled only on the 8-port SONET/SDH OC3/STM1 (Multi-Rate) MIC.
To disable rate-selectability on the 8-port SONET/SDH OC3/STM1 (Multi-Rate) MIC:
- At the [edit chassis] hierarchy level in configuration
mode, disable rate-selectability by using the no-multi-rate statement.[edit chassis]user@host# set fpc fpc-slot pic pic-number no-multi-rate
For example:
[edit chassis]user@host# set fpc 3 pic 0 no-multi-rate - Verify the configuration:
[edit chassis] user@host# show fpc 3 { pic 0 { no-multi-rate; } }
![]() | Note: You can disable rate-selectability by using the no-multi-rate statement only on the 8-port SONET/SDH OC3/STM1 (Multi-Rate) MIC with SFP. The no-multi-rate statement has no effect on the 4-port SONET/SDH OC3/STM1 (Multi-Rate) MIC with SFP, the Channelized SONET/SDH OC3/STM1 (Multi-Rate) MICs with SFP, or the ATM MIC. |
