Description

Configure the operating speed of all ports on the MPC7E-MRATE MPC, MIC-MRATE MIC, MX10003 MPC, and MX204 routers.

(MX240, MX480, MX960, MX2010, and MX2020 routers with MPC7E-MRATE) To configure 100 Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 40 Gbps speed on all supported ports, specify 100G, 10G, or 40G, respectively, as the speed for the specified PIC. All the six ports of PIC 0 and PIC 1 of an MPC7E-MRATE MPC support 10-Gbps and 40-Gbps speeds. However, only ports 2 and 5 of PIC 0 and PIC 1 support 100-Gbps speed. Therefore, if you configure 100G as the operating speed of a PIC, the PIC is rebooted and the ports 0, 1, 3, and 4 are disabled.

(MX2010 and MX2020 routers with MIC-MRATE on MPC8E and MPC9E) To configure the port speed at MIC level or on all supported ports, specify 100G, 10G, or 40G, respectively, as the speed for the MIC-MRATE MIC on MPC8E and MPC9E. All the twelve ports of MIC-MRATE MIC support 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps speeds. When you configure the port speed as 100 Gbps at the PIC level for MPC8E, you can configure only 4 ports of the 12 MIC-MRATE ports on MPC8E to operate at 100 Gbps port speed. The other ports are disabled. Therefore, if you configure 100G as the operating speed for ports 0, 1, 6, and 7, the other ports are disabled on MPC8E. Similarly, when you configure the port speed as 100 Gbps at the PIC level you can configure only 8 ports of the 12 MIC-MRATE ports on MPC9E with 100 Gbps port speed. Therefore, if you configure 100G as the operating speed for ports 0, 1, 2, 3, 6,7, 8, and 9, the other ports can support only 40 Gbps or 10 Gbps. However, enabling port speed of 40 Gbps or 10 Gbps at the PIC level, enables all ports and sets the desired port speed on all ports.

(MX10003 routers with MX10003 MPC) To configure 100 Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 40 Gbps speed on all supported ports, specify 100G, 10G, or 40G, respectively, as the speed for the specified PIC. All the six ports of the fixed port PIC support 10-Gbps and 40-Gbps speeds. All the 12 ports of the Multi-rate MIC support 100-Gbps, 10-Gbps and 40-Gbps speeds. To configure all ports to operate at the same speed, configure rate selectability at the PIC level, in which case you cannot configure the speed of individual ports. To configure rate selectability at the PIC level, use the pic-mode statement and specify the port speed. For more information see MX10003 MPC (Multi-Rate) and Supported Active Physical Ports on MX10003 MPC to Prevent Oversubscription.

(MX204 routers) To configure all ports to operate at the same speed, configure rate selectability at the PIC level, in which case you cannot configure the speed of individual ports. To configure rate selectability at the PIC level, use the pic-mode statement and specify the port speed. The MX204 has four rate-selectable ports (referred to a PIC 0 ports) that can be configured as 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports or 40-Gigabit Ethernet port, or each port can be configured as four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports (by using a breakout cable). The MX204 also has eight 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports (referred to as PIC 1 ports).

(MX240, MX480, MX960, MX2010, and MX2020 routers with 10x10GE SFPP and 10x1GE SFP MIC on MPC2E-NG and MPC3E-NG) 10x10GE SFPP and 10x1GE SFP MICs consist of 10 ports that support 10-Gbps and 1-Gbps speeds with PTP and MACsec capabilities. To configure all ports to operate at the same speed, configure rate selectability at the PIC level by using the pic-mode statement and specifying the port speed, in which case you cannot configure the speed of individual ports.

Note:

When you insert the 10x10GE SFPP or 10x1GE SFP MIC into slot 0 of the MPC and run the show commands, it appears under PIC 0. But when you insert the MIC into slot 1 of MPC, it appears under PIC 2 even though only one logical PIC is mapped. This indexing is made to accommodate other MICs that have two logical PICs mapped and prevent physical interface (IFD) name collisions.

The MX204 router does not support heterogeneous mode. That is, in PIC mode if 40-Gbps or 100-Gbps speed is configured on PIC 0, then the number-of-ports on PIC 1 must be configured to 0 only. For more information, see MX204 Router Overview and Supported Active Physical Ports on MX204 to Prevent Oversubscription.

Use the port-checker tool to check whether the combination of ports you want to use is valid or not.
