For interoperability with devices from different vendors, refer to the CSG5000/CSG5200/CSG5250 FEC Interoperability Guidelines for FEC settings at the remote end. The local or VOS end works in Auto FEC mode where the network controller automatically adjusts the FEC.
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.
