SFP+ uplink modules are supported on J-EX4200 switches. You can use these uplink
modules either for two SFP+ transceivers or four SFP transceivers. You configure the
operating mode on the module to match the type of transceiver you want to use—that
is, for SFP+ transceivers, you configure the 10-gigabit operating mode, and for SFP
transceivers, you configure the 1-gigabit operating mode.
By default, the SFP+ uplink module operates in the 10-gigabit mode and supports only
SFP+ transceivers. If you have not changed the module from the default setting and you
want to use SFP+ transceivers, you do not need to configure the operating mode.
To set the operating mode of an SFP+ uplink module, change the operating mode to the
appropriate mode for the transceiver type you want to use by using one of the following
commands:
[edit]
user@switch# set chassis fpc 0 pic 1 sfpplus pic-mode 1g
[edit]
user@switch# set chassis fpc 0 pic 1 sfpplus pic-mode 10g
The changed operating mode takes effect immediately unless a port on the SFP+ uplink
module is a Virtual Chassis port (VCP). If any port on the SFP+ uplink module is a VCP,
the changed operating mode does not take effect until the next reboot of the switch.
NOTE: During the operating mode change, the Packet Forwarding Engine is
restarted. In a Virtual Chassis configuration, this means that the Flexible PIC
Concentrator connection with the master is dropped and then reconnected.
You can see whether the operating mode has been changed to the new mode you
configured by issuing the
by default. You might have to delete this or another
