Compatible Remote Switches

The following switches have been tested with a 1-Gigabit Ethernet link connection to the CSG5000 series appliance:

  • Cisco Nexus-3048T
  • Dell S3048 and S4128F switches
  • Juniper EX2200

Connection Recommendations

The following are recommendations for connecting the CSG5000 series appliance at 10/25/100-Gigabit Ethernet speeds:

  • After you insert an SFP or change the SFP speed, you must disable and then re-enable the VNI interface on the CSG5000 series appliance.
  • If the configuration on the remote device changes, you must disable and then reenable the VNI interface on the CSG5000 series appliance.
  • Ensure that you have enabled the 1-Gigabit Ethernet interface in the Versa Operating SystemTM (VOSTM) software.
  • For 1-Gigabit Ethernet SFPs, you must turn off autonegotiation on the remote device, and then you must set the connection speed to 1-Gigabit Ethernet. For example, for Cisco switches, in the interface configuration, configure the speed to 1000:
interface Ethernet 1/25 
speed 1000

For Juniper switches, configure no-autonegotiation on the interface:

enable;
ether-options {
    no-auto-negotiation;
    link-mode full-duplex;
    speed {
        1g;
     }
}

Note: Before you order units in bulk, validate connections with the target remote device in a lab or testing environment to ensure that there are no compatibility or link issues.
