Gigabit Ethernet PICs
Learn about Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) PICs that are used to connect computers and servers in local area networks (LANs). How to configure GbE PICs to perform traffic policing without the need to configure a firewall filter.
Gigabit Ethernet PIC supports flexible encapsulation and MAC accounting. Gigabit Ethernet connects computers and servers in local networks. The data transfer speed and cabling improvements have recommended many enterprises to replace Fast Ethernet with Gigabit Ethernet for wired local networks.
P2-10G-40G-QSFPP PIC Overview
All the ports on the P2-10G-40G-QSFPP PIC are plugged into quad small form-factor pluggable plus transceivers (QSFP+) that, in turn, are connected to fiber-optic cables that support both 10-Gigabit Ethernet standards and 40-Gigabit Ethernet standards, thereby enabling you to configure the PIC to operate either in 10-Gigabit Ethernet mode or in 40-Gigabit Ethernet mode.
You can configure the ports on the PIC in 10-Gigabit Ethernet mode or 40-Gigabit Ethernet mode at the port group level.
The following sections describe the P2-10G-40G-QSFPP PIC and the various framing modes that are supported on it:

Understanding Dual Configuration on P2-10G-40G-QSFPP PIC
All the ports on the P2-10G-40G-QSFPP PIC are QSFP+ based—that is, all the ports are connected to fiber-optic cables by means of QSFP+ transceivers.
The QSFP+ module—which includes the transceiver and the fiber-optic cable—supports the following standards on the P2-10G-40G-QSFPP PIC:
10-Gigabit Ethernet in LAN PHY framing mode (also known as native Ethernet mode) and WAN PHY framing mode.
Note that the ports follow a 4-level interface-naming convention—et-fpc/pic/QSFP+ port:channel in this mode.
40-Gigabit Ethernet in LAN PHY framing mode.
Note that the ports follow a 3-level interface-naming convention—et-fpc/pic/QSFP+ port in this mode.
The P2-10G-40G-QSFPP PIC provides forty-eight 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports or twelve 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports. or .
The PIC can be configured either in 10-Gigabit Ethernet mode
or in 40-Gigabit Ethernet mode with the set chassis fpc fpc-number pic pic-number pic-mode (10G | 40G)
configuration command. By default, the PIC is configured in 10-Gigabit
Ethernet LAN PHY framing mode.
If you want to configure the PIC in 10-Gigabit Ethernet mode to operate in 40-Gigabit Ethernet mode, you must:
Delete all the interfaces in the PIC at the
[edit interfaces]
hierarchy level.Configure the PIC to operate in 40-Gigabit Ethernet mode by using the
set chassis fpc fpc-slot pic pic-slot pic-mode 40G
configuration command and commit.
The PIC reboots and starts operating in the new mode.
The same procedure is applicable when you can configure the PIC in 40-Gigabit
Ethernet PIC to operate in 10-Gigabit Ethernet mode. In this case, you must execute
the set chassis fpc fpc-slot pic
pic-slot pic-mode 10G
configuration mode
command.
To check the current diagnostics of the PIC, you must run the
relevant operational mode CLI commands such as show chassis hardware
, show interfaces diagnostics optics interface-name
,
Understanding Port Group
The FPC2-PTX-P1A FPC can host two PICs and has eight Packet Forwarding Engines. The first four Packet Forwarding Engines on the FPC are associated with PIC 0 and the next four are associated with PIC 1.
All ports associated to one Packet Forwarding Engine compose a port group. Each PIC supports four Packet Forwarding Engines. Therefore, four port groups exist for each P2-10G-40G-QSFPP PIC.
Each Packet Forwarding Engine providesthroughput of 120 Gbps.
Points to Remember
Consider the following points when configuring the PIC at the port group level:
You can configure the ports in 10-Gigabit Ethernet mode or in 40-Gigabit Ethernet mode at the port group level.
You can configure the port speed only on the first port in the port group. That is, you must configure the port speed for the port group on the ports numbered 0, 3, 6, and 9—the first ports in the respective port groups. An error message is logged when you try to configure the speed on any other port in the port group and this configuration will not have any effect on the PIC.
You can configure the port speed of a port group only when the value of the
pic-mode
statement at the[edit chassis fpc fpc-slot pic pic-slot pic-mode]
is set to 10G or when the statement is not configured.You cannot configure different speeds for the ports in the same port group.
You can configure different speeds for different port groups.

- Port Number Mapping When Port Groups Are Configured
Port Group in 10-Gigabit Ethernet Mode
Each Packet Forwarding Engine supports twelve 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports in LAN PHY or in WAN PHY framing mode.
Note that when a port group is configured from 10-Gigabit Ethernet mode to 40-Gigabit Ethernet mode, the ports with 4-level interface-naming convention are deleted and three 40-Gigabit Ethernet mode ports with 3-level interface-naming convention are created.
Note that when the configuration of a port group is changed from 10-Gigabit Ethernet mode to 40-Gigabit Ethernet mode, the configuration of the twelve 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports is deleted and the 4-level interface-naming convention of the ports is also lost. Instead, three 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports are configured and these ports adhere to the 3-level interface-naming convention
Port Group in 40-Gigabit Ethernet Mode
Each Packet Forwarding Engine supports three 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports in LAN PHY framing mode.
Note that when the configuration of a port group is changed from 40-Gigabit Ethernet mode to 10-Gigabit Ethernet mode, the configuration of the three 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports is deleted and the 3-level interface-naming convention of the ports is also lost. Instead, twelve 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports are configured and these ports adhere to the 4-level interface-naming convention.

Meaning
The interface details are displayed. Note that to display information for an interface in 10-Gigabit Ethernet mode for the P2-10G-40G-QSFPP PIC, you must use the et-fpc/pic/port:channel format.
Framing Overview
The 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces support operation in two modes:
10GBASE-R, LAN Physical Layer Device (LAN PHY)
10GBASE-W, WAN Physical Layer Device (WAN PHY)
When the external interface is running in LAN PHY mode, it bypasses the WIS sublayer to directly stream block-encoded Ethernet frames on a 10-Gigabit Ethernet serial interface. When the external interface is running in WAN PHY mode, it uses the WIS sublayer to transport 10-Gigabit Ethernet frames in an OC192c SONET payload.
WAN PHY mode is supported on MX240, MX480, MX960, and PTX Series Packet Transport routers only.
Although the external interface provides a lower throughput when running in WAN PHY mode because of the extra SONET overhead, it can interoperate with SONET section or line level repeaters. This creates an advantage when the interface is used for long-distance, point-to-point 10-Gigabit Ethernet links. When the external interface is running in WAN PHY mode, some SONET options are supported.
Understanding WAN Framing
If you use the wan-phy
statement option at
the [edit interfaces xe-fpc/pic/0 framing]
hierarchy level to configure Trio WAN mode framing
for 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, then the alarm behavior of the
link, although in full compliance with the IEEE 802.3ae 10-Gigabit
Ethernet standard, might not be as expected.
In particular:
The interface does not distinguish between loss of light (LOL), loss of phase lock loop (PLL), or loss of signal (LOS). If a loss of PLL or LOS alarm occurs, then both PLL and LOS alarms are raised. LOL is also raised because there is no separate LOL indication from the hardware.
The interface does not raise LOS, PLL, or LOL alarms when the fiber in disconnected from the interface port. You must remove the hardware to raise this alarm.
The interface line-level alarm indicator signal (AIS-L) is not always raised in response to a loss of framing (LOF) defect alarm.
If the AIS-L or path-level AIS (AIS-P) occurs, the interface path-level loss of code delineation (LCD-P) is not detected. LCD-P is seen during the path-level remote defect indicator (RDI-P) alarm.
If an AIS-L alarm occurs, the AIS-P is not detected, but the LOP alarm is detected.
None of the alarm issues are misleading, but they make troubleshooting the root cause of problems more complex.
Configuring Ethernet Framing
The 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces uses the interface type xe-fpc/pic/port
. On single port devices, the port number is always zero.
The xe-fpc/pic/port
interface inherits all the configuration
commands that are used for gigabit Ethernet (ge-fpc/pic/port
) interfaces.
To configure LAN PHY or WAN PHY operating mode, include the framing
statement with the lan-phy
or wan-phy
option at the [edit interfaces xe-fpc /pic/0 ]
hierarchy level.
[edit interfaces xe-fpc/pic/0 framing] framing (lan-phy | wan-phy);
The T4000 Core Router supports only LAN PHY mode in Junos OS Release 12.1R1. Starting with Junos OS Release 12.1R2, WAN PHY mode is supported on the T4000 routers with the 12-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet LAN/WAN PIC with SFP+ (PF-12XGE-SFPP). Starting with Junos OS Release 12.2, WAN PHY mode is supported on the T4000 routers with the 24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet LAN/WAN PIC with SFP+ (PF-24XGE-SFPP).
On PTX Series Transport Routers, WAN PHY mode is supported only on the 24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet LAN/WAN PIC with SFP+
When the PHY mode changes, interface traffic is disrupted because of port reinitialization.
To display interface information, use the operational mode command show interfaces xe-fpc/pic/port extensive
.
SONET or SDH framing mode configuration
framing (sdh | sonet)
is not applicable on the 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports. Configuring thewan-phy
framing mode on the 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports allows the interface to accept SONET or SDH frames without further configuration.If you configure the WAN PHY mode on an aggregated Ethernet interface, you must set the aggregated Ethernet link speed to OC192.
