Overview

Use these procedures to configure SFP+ modules and enable error correction on high-speed links. This ensures reliable data transmission and recovers potential errors during long-range communications on supported platforms.


Configure SFP+

Perform this task when installing or reconfiguring SFP+ modules on compatible Cisco devices.

Note

Several Cisco platforms, NIMs, and SM cards support configuring multiple-rate SFPs on the same interface, for example, 1G SFP or 10G SFP+ on a 10G port. In a port-channel bundle, all member interfaces should use the same speed and duplex setting. Use duplex interfaces with the same speed as member interfaces to configure a port-channel.

For more information about interfaces that support multiple-rate SFPs, see the corresponding datasheets.

Procedure

1.

enable source-interface gigabitethernet slot/port
