Third Party Dual-Rate Optical SFP Support for Cisco ME 2600X Series Ethernet Access Switch

---

First Published: June 14, 2013

This document provides information about the deployment of supported third party dual-rate optical small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules on the Cisco ME 2600X switch.

Prerequisites for Third Party Dual-Rate Optical SFP

You must only use the following Cisco supported third party dual-rate optical SFP modules:

•Skylane - "Bi TX1550 Rx1310/10km/100/1000Mbits/DDM"
(part number: SBD53010DR3D000)

•Oplink - "BIDI-SFP-100M~1.25G-10KM-D-1490TX/1310RX"
(part number: TRBSG1CBBCZABE1G)

Restrictions for Third Party Dual-Rate Optical SFP

•When Cisco ME 2600X SFP and the CPE SFP, both work in the auto-sensing mode, the negotiated speed of the mated optics is not guaranteed. Cisco ME 2600X SFP may negotiate a speed of either 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps.

•Only when CPE SFP is working at a fixed speed, Cisco ME 2600X SFP can negotiate the same speed as CPE SFP.

•When using dual-rate SFP modules that do not support duplexing or 10 Mbps speed, the following CLI commands are accepted but not applied:

–duplex auto

–duplex full

–duplex half

–speed 10

Information About Third Party Dual-Rate Optical SFP

Cisco ME 2600X supports third party dual-rate optical SFPs and auto-sensing. When the dual-rate

optical SFP is plugged-in, Cisco ME 2600X auto-senses the speed at which the mated optics is working

and works at that speed. If the speed of the mated optics or CPE changes then the Cisco ME 2600X

auto-senses the new speed and starts working at the new speed.

Setting Speed for Third Party Dual-Rate Optical SFP

SUMMARY STEPS

---

Step 1 enable

Step 2 configure terminal

Step 3 interface type slot/port

Step 4 speed [auto | 1000 | 100]

Step 5 exit

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	enable Example: Switch> enable	Enables privileged EXEC mode. •Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2	configure terminal Example: Switch# configure terminal	Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3	interface type slot/port Example: Switch(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/40	Specifies the interface to configure and enters interface configuration mode.
Step 4	speed [auto | 1000 | 100] Example: Switch(config-if)# speed auto	Sets the speed of the Cisco ME 2600X SFP. •auto: activates speed auto-sensing. •1000: sets the speed at 1Gbps. •100: sets the speed at 100 Mbps.
Step 5	exit Example: Switch(config-if)# exit	Exits interface configuration mode.

Examples

This is an example for setting a speed of 1Gbps on the Cisco ME 2600X:

Switch> enable

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/44

Switch(config-if)# speed 1000 

Switch(config-if)# exit

This is an example for setting a speed of 100 Mbps on the Cisco ME 2600X:

Switch> enable

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/44

Switch(config-if)# speed 100

Switch(config-if)# exit

This is an example for enabling auto-sensing mode on the Cisco ME 2600X:

Switch> enable

Switch# Configure terminal

Switch(config)# interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/44

Switch(config-if)# speed auto

Switch(config-if)# exit
