  • Page 14: Port Speed And Duplex Mode

    “Clocking and 10 Gigabit Ethernet” (page 19) Port speed and duplex mode The Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Ethernet modules support various data rates; these include 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s, 1000 Mbit/s, and 10 Gbit/s. Some modules, like the 8648GTR, support several data rates and use autonegotiation (see “Autonegotiation”...
  • Page 15 Although all Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 1000Base-T ports support autonegotiation, there can be situations where autonegotiation does not function properly, and a link remains down. If this situation occurs, Nortel recommends that you disable autonegotiation and configure matching speed and duplex setting on both sides of the link (usually 10 Mbit/s and full-duplex).

  • Page 16: Remote Fault Indication And Far End Fault Indication

    Because RFI is part of the autonegotiation function, if you disable autonegotiation, RFI is automatically disabled. Therefore, Nortel recommends that you enable autonegotiation on Gigabit Ethernet links in all cases where autonegotiation supports the devices on both ends of a fiber link.

  • Page 17: Single Fiber Fault Detection

    In this case, enable autonegotiation (and disable SFFD) on both switches. When you enable SFFD on the Ethernet Routing Switch 8600, SFFD detects single fiber faults and brings down faulty links immediately. If the port is part of a multilink trunk, traffic fails over to other links in the MLT group.

  • Page 18: 802.3X Flow Control For Gigabit Ethernet

    Virtual Link Aggregation Control Protocol (VLACP) to detect link faults end-to-end. For more information about VLACP, see Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Configuration — Link Aggregation, MLT, and SMLT (NN46205-518). For configuration examples and additional information about SFFD, see the Single-Fiber Fault Detection Technical Configuration Guide on the Nortel Technical Support Web site.

    Note that these values include FCS bytes. The default maximum Ethernet frame size supported by the Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 is 1950 bytes. The 10 Gbit/s module also supports this frame size. To support a jumbo frame system, set the SF/CPU MTU to 9600 bytes on the Edit, Chassis, Chassis tab.

  • Page 20: Ethernet Modules And Vrf Lite

    Ethernet modules and VRF Lite Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) Lite feature, added in Release 5.0, enables the Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 to be multiple virtual routers. You can configure each VRF instance as a separate router; this means that you can configure various routing protocols and associated parameters for each instance.

    NTK587BS-E5 • NTK587BU-E5 For Release 5.0 and later, Nortel recommends that you install only one 10GBase-ZX for each 8683XZR or 8683XLR module due to module cooling limitations. Nortel further recommends that you install the XFP only on port 1. If you install the high-speed cooling module, you can install more 10GBase-ZX XFPs.
