For example:

To switch from 1x400G OFEC to 4x100G CFEC in ZR+

  • Change the speed from 1x400 Gbps to 4x100 Gbps using the set interface et-<> number-of-sub-ports <> speed <>:

    The command changes the speed from 1x400 Gbps to 4x100 Gbps.

  • Switch the application from OFEC to CFEC using the set interfaces <interface> optics-options application hostid <hostid> mediaid <mediaid> [domainid <domainid>] command:

    The command switches the application to 4x100 Gbps CFEC.

To display the configurable applications

  • Use the show interfaces diagnostics optics-applications <interface> command to display the configurable applications. For example, 1x400G supports the applications as highlighted in the following output.

Configure Application Selection

Execute the following steps to configure the 400ZR or 400G OpenZR+ optics:
  1. In configuration mode, go to the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level.
  2. Include the speed statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level to configure the speed.
  3. Configure speed and channelization.

    To configure a different application for a speed, see Step 5.

  4. Display all configurable applications in the configured speed. You can use this information while executing Step 5.
    show interfaces diagnostics optics-applications <interface>
  5. Change the application.
    1. Change to the [edit interfaces interface-name optics-options] hierarchy.
    2. Execute the following command in this hierarchy:
  6. Display the output after you switch to a new application. The following output shows media id and host id as 62 and 17 respectively.
    show interfaces et-0/0/10

Target Output Power

You can view the minimum and maximum configurable transmit output power for 400ZR and 400G OpenZR+ optics modules. If you want to configure a transmit output power other than the default power, use the set interfaces et-<> optics-options tx-power <> command. Changing or adjusting to a different Tx power improves transmission quality. See tx-power.

Table 4: Default Output Power
Transceiver Default Transmit Power
QDD-400G-ZR -10 dBm
JCO400-QDD-ZR -10 dBm
QDD-400G-ZR-M -10 dBm
JCO400-QDD-ZR-M -10 dBm
QDD-400G-ZR-M-HP 0 dBm

Configure Target Output Power

Execute the following steps to configure the 400ZR or 400G OpenZR+ optics:
  1. In configuration mode, go to the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level.
  2. Configure output power.
  3. Verify the target output power using the following command.
    show interfaces diagnostics optics <interface>

Enhanced Loopback Options

Only the Media Side Output loopback type was available before Junos OS Evolved 23.1 R1.

From Junos OS Evolved 23.1 R1 onwards, the following types of loopbacks are available in addition to Media Side Output:

  • Media Side Input—Loopback of the transceiver optical input signal back to its input

  • Host Side Input—Loopback of the data packet signal output at the host side back to its input

  • Host Side Output—Loopback of the data packet signal input at the host side back to its input

The enhanced command to configure lo0 is set interface et-<> optics-options loopback loopbacktype <loopbacktype>.

For example:

set interface et-<> optics-options loopback loopbacktype <media-side-out>

set interface et-<> optics-options loopback loopbacktype <media-side-in>

set interface et-<> optics-options loopback loopbacktype <host-side-out>

set interface et-<> optics-options loopback loopbacktype <host-side-in>

This enhancement is supported on PTX10001-36MR. See optics-options.

Tunable Wavelength

The 400ZR and 400G OpenZR+ are DWDM tunable transceivers. You can configure the transceivers with Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) channels.

Both 400ZR and 400G OpenZR+ optic modules support flex grid channel spacing in increments of 6.25 GHz. The 400ZR and 400G OpenZR+ support 75 GHz/100 GHz frequency spacing. A 75 GHz channel spacing is more suitable for point-to-point links, while a 100 GHz channel spacing is more applicable to ROADM networks.

The show optics diagnostics command displays the tunable parameters like Thermoelectric Cooler (TEC) fault, wavelength unlocked fault status, wavelength/frequency, channel number, and so on.

Use the set interface et-<> optics-options wavelength command to configure wavelength. By default, the wavelength is 1550.12 nm, which corresponds to 193.40 THz. See wavelength.

Signal Power Performance

From 23.4R1 Junos OS Evolved onwards, the show interface diagnostics optics et-<x/x/x> command shows the Rx signal power in the mW/dBm format. This enhancement is applicable to all devices on Junos OS Evolved platforms.

Example:

Ports in High-Power Mode

The number of ports supporting the 400G-ZR optics is restricted based on the power consumption on the QFX5220-32CD and QFX5130-32CD devices. For better thermal handling, 16 ports out of 32 QSFP56-DD ports (0, 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19, 20, 23, 24, 27, 28, 31) support the 400G-ZR optics.

The below table includes the corresponding ports that are configured as “unused”.

See Configure High Power Mode to configure the ports in the high-power mode.

Configure 400ZR and 400G OpenZR+ Coherent Optics

  1. In configuration mode, go to the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy.
  2. Include the speed statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level to configure the speed.
  3. Configure speed and channelization.

    You must use [edit chassis fpc fpc-slot pic pic-number] set number-of-sub-ports number-of-sub-ports hierarchy to configure speed and channelization for PTX10003 and MX Series routers.

  4. Configure a different application for a speed.
    1. Change to the [edit interfaces interface-name optics-options].
    2. Execute the following command in this hierarchy.
  5. [Optional] Configure output power in the [edit interfaces interface-name optics-options] hierarchy level. If in channelized mode, you must use the first sub-port to configure output power.

    Example:

  6. Specify the wavelength of optics in nm. If in channelized mode, you must use the first sub-port to configure wavelength.

    Example:
