Description

Enable forward error correction (FEC) mode.

Default

If you do not specify a mode, the default mode is gfec. On PTX Series routers with P1-PTX-2-100G-WDM, the default value is gfec-sdfec. On PTX Series routers with PTX-5-100G-WDM and on MX Series routers with MIC3-100G-DWDM, the default value is sdfec.

Options

efec—(M Series, MX Series routers and PTX Series routers only) G.975.1 I.4 enhanced forward error correction (EFEC) is configured to detect and correct bit errors. This mode is supported only on 10G ports and not supported on the 40G and 100G ports.

gfec—(M series, MX Series routers and PTX Series routers only) G.709 generic forward error correction (GFEC) mode is configured to detect and correct bit errors.

gfec-sdfec—(PTX Series routers only) GFEC and soft-decision forward error correction (SD-FEC) modes are configured to detect and correct bit errors.

hgfec—(MX Series routers only) High gain forward error correction mode is configured to detect and correct bit errors.

sdfec—(MX Series routers, PTX Series routers, and ACX6360 routers only) Sky-Compatible Soft-decision forward error correction mode is configured to detect and correct bit errors.

sdfec15—(ACX6360 routers only) Soft Decision Forward Error Correction with 15 percent overhead is configured to detect and correct bit errors.

none—(M Series and MX Series routers only) FEC mode is not configured.

Note:

On MX Series routers with MIC3-100G-DWDM and PTX Series routers with PTX-5-100G-WDM, none option is not supported. The fec mode must be enabled on the MIC3-100G-DWDM MIC and the PTX-5-100G-WDM PIC.

ufec—(MX Series routers and PTX Series routers only) G.975.1 I.7 Ultra Forward Error Correction (UFEC) mode is configured to detect and correct bit errors. This mode is supported only on 10G ports and not supported on the 40G and 100G ports.
