Configuring a LAN/WAN PHY interface module

WAN PHY enables a 10 Gbps Ethernet port to use SONET/SDH for Layer 1
transport, thus allowing for the extension of Ethernet links across a WAN transport
backbone.
The following sections contain instructions for configuring the LAN/WAN PHY
module.

Enabling the LAN/WAN PHY module

To enable a LAN/WAN PHY module after installing it, enter a command such as the
following:
(config)#module 6 fi-sx4-2-port-10g-lan-wan-module
Syntax: module <slot-num> fi-sx4-2-port-10g-lan-wan-module
where <slot-num> is the slot number where the LAN/WAN PHY module is installed.

Setting the WAN PHY mode

A 10 Gbps Ethernet port on a LAN/WAN PHY module can be set up for either WAN
or LAN mode. The default state is LAN mode.
The link-config x10g wan-phy command allows you to change to WAN mode from
LAN mode.
Note: This command is supported on the LAN/WAN PHY module only.
EXAMPLE:
To enable the WAN PHY mode, enter commands such as the following:
(config)# link-config x10g wan-phy e 1/1 e 1/2
(config)# write memory
(config)# end
# reload
These commands change the PHY mode from LAN to WAN.
Note: The write memory and reload commands save the change to the
Syntax: link-config x10g wan-phy ethernet <slot-num/port-num>
where <slot-num/port-num> is a valid 10-Gigabit Ethernet port or ports.

Disabling and re-enabling an interface module

Note: This section does not apply to the active management module. The disable

module and enable module commands are not applicable to the active
management module. If you attempt to remove the management module
while the chassis is powered on and running, all traffic being handled by the
system will stop.
