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 <>:

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    set interface et-<> number-of-sub-ports 4 speed 100g

    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:

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    set interface et-<>:0 optics-options application mediaid 62 hostid 13

    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.

    content_copy zoom_out_map

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.

The minimum and maximum transmit output power varies:

  • Based on the optical transceivers.

  • Based on the transceiver vendor.

Use 400ZR and 400G OpenZR+ to confirm platform and release support.

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

For example:

content_copy zoom_out_map
user@host# set interfaces et-0/0/0 optics-options loopback loopbacktype ?
Possible completions:
  host-side-in         Loop host side input back to output
  host-side-out        Loop host side output back to input
  media-side-in        Loop media side input back to output
  media-side-out       Loop media side output back to input
[edit]

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

For example:

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

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

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

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

Use 400ZR and 400G OpenZR+ to confirm platform and release support. 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:

content_copy zoom_out_map

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”.

  4. Configure a different application for a speed.
    1. Change to the [edit interfaces interface-name optics-options].
      content_copy zoom_out_map
      [edit interfaces interface-name]
      user@host# edit interfaces interface-name optics-options
      
    2. Execute the following command in this hierarchy.
      content_copy zoom_out_map
      user@host# set interfaces <interface> optics-options application hostid <hostid> mediaid <mediaid> [domainid
      <domainid>]
      
  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.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    user@host# set interface et-<interface> optics-option tx-power <tx power> 

    Example:

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    user@host# set interfaces et-0/0/0:0 optics-options tx-power -10
  6. Specify the wavelength of optics in nm. If in channelized mode, you must use the first sub-port to configure wavelength.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit interfaces interface-name optics-options] 
    user@host# set wavelength nm
    

    Example:

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    user@host# set interfaces et-0/0/0:0 optics-options wavelength 1552.52
